Phosphate in Acute Pancreatitis
Sponsor: Duke University
Summary
The goal of this study is to learn if phosphate administration works to treat acute pancreatitis in adults presenting to the emergency department at Duke University Hospital. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does having low phosphate levels increase the risk of acute pancreatitis and can giving phosphate through an IV make the illness less severe? * Is phosphate therapy practical to use, and what is the appropriate dose? * Is this study achievable, and how can the results help design a future randomized controlled trial to assess safety and effectiveness? Participants will: * Receive standard of care or intravenous (IV) phosphate during their hospital stay * Have blood samples collected during admission to monitor phosphorus levels * Complete follow-up assessments after hospital admission to evaluate how severe the illness is and the effects of phosphate supplementation

Conditions
Interventions
Sodium Phosphate
The treatment is administered via continuous peripheral intravenous infusion at a rate of 30 mmol every 6 hours, provided serum phosphorus levels remain at or below 4.0 mg/dL; it begins upon patient enrollment and continues for up to 72 hours.
Potassium Phosphate
This treatment will be used in case of hypernatremia. The treatment is administered via continuous peripheral intravenous infusion at a rate of 30 mmol every 6 hours, provided serum phosphorus levels remain at or below 4.0 mg/dL; it begins upon patient enrollment and continues for up to 72 hours.
