Abstract:
Investigation of white blood cell and lymphocyte concentration and white blood cell intoxication index (WBCII), integral systems APACHE II and Ranson reliably reflected the severity of clinical status in patients with acute pancreatitis and had prognostic value. At the same time white blood cell concentration and indices of APACHE II reflected to lesser extent the severity of clinical status, and white blood cell concentration didn't have any prognostic value. Application of lymphocyte concentration and WBCII can be recommended in urgent surgery for evaluation of clinical status and prognosis at early stages of diagnostics and treatment of acute pancreatitis.

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. 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.
