Objective:
To study the changes in indicators of oxidative toxemia, hypoxia and intra-abdominal hypertension in various forms of acute pancreatitis.
Material And Methods:
The results of complex diagnostics in 62 patients with various forms of acute pancreatitis were analyzed. We estimated the indicators of oxidative status, hypoxia and intra-abdominal hypertension. Edematous pancreatitis was diagnosed in 35 (56.5%) patients, destructive acute pancreatitis - in 27 (43.5%) patients (sterile pancreatic necrosis in 14 (22.6%) patients, and infected pancreatic necrosis in 13 (20.9%) patients).
Results:
Progression of disease is followed by active lipid peroxidation with accumulation of conjugated dienes and malondialdehyde, as well as increase in serum lactate and pyruvate levels. Intra-abdominal pressure increases with progression of disease and destructive processes. There was direct correlation between intra-abdominal pressure and clinical form of acute pancreatitis (r=0.8033, p<0.001). The same was true for intra-abdominal pressure and indicators of oxidative toxemia (conjugated dienes - p<0.001, malondialdehyde - p<0.001) and hypoxia (lactate - p<0.001, pyruvate - p<0.001, and hypoxia coefficient - p<0.001).
Conclusion:
A comprehensive examination of patients with acute pancreatitis allows to analyze lipid peroxidation, hypoxia and intra-abdominal hypertension. These parameters depend on clinical form of disease.

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...

The underlying physiological abnormalities that contribute to hypoxemic respiratory failure include:
Hypoxia
Types of Hypoxia
There are four primary types of hypoxia, each resulting from a different cause:
1. Anemic hypoxia: This type occurs due to insufficient oxygen delivery caused by a lack of red blood cells (RBCs) or RBCs with abnormal or...
