ABSTRACT
Acute pancreatitis represents
a diagnostic challenge in
patients with abdominal pain.
In case of complications, it
increases morbidity, mortality
and hospital costs. Its two
main causes are cholelithiasis
and alcohol. The typical
clinical presentation includes
abdominal pain in the epigastric,
irradiated as belt shaped
back pain; accompanied by
vomiting, which increases with
food intake. It takes a medical
history and a thorough physical
examination, amylase or
serum lipase measurement and
complementary examinations
for its diagnosis. The approach is
based on support measures and
in severe cases is accompanied
with surgical treatment.
