Recurrent acute pancreatitis due to tertiary hyperparathyroidism manifesting as pancreatic calcification in a patient receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis

Chronic alcohol use and gallstones are the most frequent causes of acute pancreatitis (AP), a life-threatening medical emergency. Above-normal calcium levels in these patients indicate potential malignancy or hyperparathyroidism (HPT). Whereas primary HPT has been associated with AP, tertiary HPT has seldom been linked with AP. Herein we present a case of peritoneal dialysis presenting with recurrent AP and incidental pancreatic duct calcification due to tertiary HPT.
