Early diagnosis and prevention of complications of acute pancreatitis

In order to make correct diagnosis of acute pancreatitis (AP) and prevention of complications, especially infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN), there were made a wide range of examinations of people with abdominal pain and appropriate anamnesis. Clinical, laboratory and instrumental examination methods were carried out in dynamics during the first 5-7 days of illness. Attention was paid to some laboratory methods (levels of procalcitonin (PCT), amylase, diastasis, ALT, AST) due to results of correlation analysis in our previous researches.
