Abstract
The exact mechanisms underlying the initiation and progression of acute pancreatitis remain unclear. Current research is concentrated on acinar cell events and the systemic complications of the early phase of acute pancreatitis (multiorgan failure, vascular leakage, excessive leukocyte activation, ARDS) (Rinderknecht et al. 1988).
