Abstract:
In 1986-2002 yrs period 515 patients were treated in the clinic for an acute pancreatitis. The severity of the disease was assessed according to clinical and laboratory data, basing on Ranson scale. Severe acute pancreatitis was diagnosed in 45 (8.7%) of patients. In 16 patients together with conventional treatment octreotide was applied in 100-300 mkg/day dosage during 5 days.
