Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
The prophylaxis effect of epinephrine sprayed on the papilla on post-ERCP pancreatitis [ Time Frame: PEP occurence rate at 24 h after ERCP in two groups.
If the serum amylase is 3 times higher than the normal values after 24 hours of ERCP in patients, who also have clinical symptoms, without other acute abdominal diseases,such as gastrointestinal perforation,acute cholecystitia and acute cholangitis and etc. In this condition, it will be defined PEP(post-ERCP pancreatitis).  
at 3 hours after ERCP, serum amylase will be done and at 24 hours after ERCP, serum amylase will be done again along with ultrasonography of abdomen. 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Compare epinephrine group with control group on the incidence of hyperamylasemia/adverse events.Hyperamylasemia will be defined as the serum amylase 3 times more than the upper normal values, without clinical symptoms. During the study, any unexpected medical issue will be called adverse event.  at 3 hours and at 24 hours after ERCP, serum amylase will be done.

Brief Summary   Post endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis is well recognized complication with significant morbidity and mortality. The possible mechanism is papillary edema caused by manipulations during ERCP. The papillary edema may cause temporary outflow obstuction of pancreatic juice and may lead to increase in ductal pressure resulting in post ERCP pancreatitis. Topical application of epinephrine spray may reduce papaillary edema and may be effective in preventing post ERCP pancreatitis. Hence we are conducting this prospective randomized controlled study to determine the effect of epinephrine spray on papilla for prevention of post ERCP pancreatitis.400 consecutive patients older than 18 years, who are admitted for diagnostic or therapeutic ERCP at Sher-i-kashmir Institute of Medical sciences in department of Gastroenterology will be recruited for this study. Patients will be randomized using opaque sealed envelopes containing random numbers assigning them to undergo a spray of epinephrine ( drug group) or saline (control group) on  papilla.we will randomly distribute patients in two groups. Control group of patients will receive 100 mg of diclofenac rectal suppository half an hour before start of ERCP procedure followed by 20 ml of normal saline spray on the duodenal papilla over a period of one minute using ERCP cannulation catheter at the end of procedure. Experimental ( epinephrine group) of patients will receive 100 mg of diclofenac rectal suppository half an hour before start of ERCP procedure followed by 20 ml of 0.02% epinephrine spray on the duodenal papilla over a period of one minute using ERCP cannultion catheter at the end of procedure. Post ERCP pancreatitis will be defined by consensus guidelines as 1. New or increased abdominal pain that is clinically consistent with a syndrome of acute pancreatitis and 2. serum amylase or lipase > 3 times the upper limit of normal 24 hours after ERCP procedure and 3. hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization for at least 2 days. Severity of post ERCP pancreatitis will also be defined using the consensus grading as Mild post ERCP pancreatitis that results in hospitalization for < 3 days. Moderate post ERCP pancreatitis will be defined as pancreatitis that results in hospitalization for 4-10 days. Severe post ERCP pancreatitis will be defined as pancreatitis that results in hospitalization for > 10 days, or leads to the developement of pancreatic necrosis or requires additional endoscopic, percutaneous or surgical interventions. Severity of post ERCP pancreatitis will also be defined using modified Atlanta criteria.
