Acute pancreatitis can develop in two ways - heavy and light. The methods of treatment of such a disease depend precisely on its severity. The heavy variety is most dangerous, since it proceeds very quickly and is characterized by extensive necrotic formations of aseptic properties.
This disease occurs in several stages. Each of them has its own characteristics and features of the current.
In the first stage of the disease( up to 36 hours) necrotic formations of different sizes are formed, toxicosis is caused by hyperfermentation, and sometimes endotoxin shock and poly organ failure. The first stage of acute inflammation in the pancreas is called enzyme.
Then comes the reactive stage of development. This stage is due to the response of the human body to the already formed foci of necrotic formations. As a rule, in the reactive stage of severe form, such a disease as acute destructive pancreatitis, necrosis has already fully formed and does not increase further. Foci of necrosis can be located either directly in the pancreas, or spread further into the abdominal cavity.
The next, the third stage of this disease, is characterized by the processes of melting the necrosis and their sequestration. In severe forms of pancreatitis, as a rule, the third stage of the disease is accompanied by the development of complications of a purulent nature.
If a patient has severe acute pancreatitis, the probability of a fatal outcome may be more than 50% of the total number of cases of such a disease. Therefore, it is especially important, immediately after the manifestation of the first symptoms, to provide immediate medical care to the patient. The severe form of this disease is about 5% of the total number of digestive system diseases.
The disease is treated only in a multi-hospital, with the inflammatory process developing so quickly that the count goes to the clock. And it is the effectiveness of the prescribed treatment and timely diagnosis that determines the life and health of the patient.
Treatment of such a disease, primarily aimed at removing the patient from the state of shock( both pain and toxicity), and only then the elimination of foci of necrotic formations, the suppression of septic foci and suppurative processes.
Despite the speed of development of such diseases, a complete restoration of the functions of the pancreas is a long and difficult process.
