PREVENTION OF LIVER FAILURE IN ACUTE DESTRUCTIVE PANCREATITIS

Abstract

The development of such a formidable and severe disease as acute destructive pancreatitis is usually not limited to an isolated lesion of the pancreas. According to various literature data, the incidence of complications ranges from 60-90%. It is the early complications, accompanied by dysfunction of the liver, cardiovascular system, lungs and kidneys, that pose the greatest danger and are the cause of high mortality. Liver failure occurs in every fourth patient with pancreatic necrosis, being the cause of death in acute pancreatitis in 40% of cases.
