[IMPACT OF A HEIGHTENED INTRAABDOMINAL PRESSURE ON POLYORGAN INSUFFICIENCY OCCURRENCE IN AN ACUTE PANCREATITIS]
Abstract:
In experiment the impact of intraabdominal hypertension (IAH) on an acute pancreatitis (AP) course was studied up. The procedure of an acute experiment, using intraparenchymatose introduction of 40% solution of ethanol, was proposed. The isolated influence of IAH on target organs was investigated, as well as its impact on the simulated severe AP course. Morphological changes in pancreas, small intestine, kidneys, liver in an AP were studied up. While performing the investigation a negative impact of IAH in AP was noted, such as the polyorgan insufficiency occurence.

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:
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...
