Sažetak
Akutni pankreatitis obuhvaća raspon od klinički blage do teške, fulminantne bolesti. Nakon što se dijagnoza bolesti potvrdi, terapijski pristup ovisi o ranoj procjeni težine bolesti koja se temelji na kliničkim i laboratorijskim parametrima. Namjera je ovog pregleda opisati nove mogućnosti u terapiji akutnog pankreatitisa koje utječu na smanjenje morbiditeta i mortaliteta. U članku se analizira uloga početne terapije, monitoringa, nutricijske potpore, specifične terapije i antibiotske profilakse kod oboljelih od akutnog pankreatitisa. Opisuje se i pristup bolesnicima s ranim i kasnim komplikacijama bolesti koji može biti konzervativan, endoskopski i kirurški te iznose preporuke za najprikladnije postupke kod takvih bolesnika.

Once the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis is established, the treatment is dependent on the early assessment of disease severity based on objective clinical and laboratory parameters. The purpose of this review is to describe the new developments in the treatment of acute pancreatitis which have an impact in the lowering of the morbidity and mortality. The roles of initial treatment and monitoring, nutritional support, specific therapy and antibiotic prophylaxis are analysed. The therapeutic approach to patients with early and late complications of acute pancreatitis could be medical, endoscopic or surgical and recommendations for relevant management are given.
