[Nutritional support in patients with acute pancreatitis]
Abstract:
A causal therapy for acute pancreatitis is not available, so treatment has to focus on best supportive care. As nutrition is a cornerstone in the treatment of the disease, recent clinical research has focused on this question. The concept of enteral nutrition is aiming at the maintenance of a normal mucosal barrriere function which has been discovered to be important in mild and severe acute pancreatitis. This review offers an overview about current concepts of nutritional support and gives recommendations for clinical care as well.

Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
