ACUTE PANCREATITIS: MODERN ASPECTS OF DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT
The article examines the modern concept of diagnostics and management of acute pancreatitis and its complications, primarily acute gallstone pancreatitis. An interpretation of the assessment of the severity of the course of the disease, methods of visualization of the pancreas, and ways of treatment is reviewed. Based on the principles of evidence-based medicine, the experience of advanced clinics and their own clinical experience, the authors have developed a protocol to help clinicians to optimize the diagnostic algorithm and manage patients with acute gallstone pancreatitis.
