Post ERCP pancreatitis was diagnosed by laboratory investigations, ultra-sonography and triphasic abdominal CT criteria of pancreatitis. The results of this study showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the percentage of knife precut between the studied groups. There was a statistically significant difference in the degree of post ERCP pancreatitis during comparison the control group with each studied drug group, in which allopurinol has a protective role in the occurrence of post ERCP pancreatitis by regression analysis.
