[Determination of the pancreatic inflammatory process activity in chronic pancreatitis]
Abstract:
There were 21 patients examined, who suffered chronic pancreatitis (CHP) in different activity of pancreatic inflammatory process. In the blood serum the contents of the inflammation markers was determined: tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-10 (IL-10), ratio TNF-alpha/IL-10 was calculated, as well as activity of elastase in feces. Analysis of these indices permits to estimate the activity of pancreatic inflammatory process in patients, suffering CHP, what secures rising of the preoperative diagnosis and treatment efficacy, as well as reduction of intra- and postoperative complications rate.

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...

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.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:
