Acute pancreatitis is a variety of factors caused the pancreatic enzyme was activated in the pancreas of pancreatic tissue caused by their own digestion, edema, hemorrhage or necrosis of the inflammatory response. Clinical symptoms include acute abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever and increased blood such as the characteristics of trypsin. Severity of lesions ranging from mild cases to the main pancreatic edema common clinical features; self-limiting illness often has a good prognosis, also known as mild acute pancreatitis. A few severe cases of pancreatic hemorrhage and necrosis, often with secondary infection, peritonitis and shock and other complications, mortality is high, known as severe acute pancreatitis.

A few severe cases of pancreatic hemorrhage and necrosis, often with secondary infection, peritonitis and shock and other complications, mortality is high, known as severe acute pancreatitis.
Common diseases of acute pancreatitis is abdominal surgery, in recent years gradually increased the incidence of severe pancreatitis. Because of its large physiological upset, but is has obviously the major organ damage, so the high mortality rate. Sometimes it can cause sudden death. Severe pancreatitis mortality rate was 20%, had some complications, up to 50%. Often the clinical pathology of acute pancreatitis were divided into edematous and hemorrhagic necrosis of two. While this classification can explain the pathological condition, but the progression of pancreatitis is not static, with the degree of pancreatic duct obstruction, and pancreatic interstitial blood vessels (arteries and veins and lymphatic vessels) of the change, the pathological changes in the dynamic developing. Therefore, treatment of mild acute pancreatitis and severe pancreatitis has classification method, more suitable for clinical application. Severe acute pancreatitis (such as hemorrhagic necrosis) often attaches great importance to clinicians, but the light pancreatitis (such as edema) can not be ignored, it can develop into severe pancreatitis.
