Zusammenfassung

Grundlagen

Die Diagnose einer akuten Pankreatitis ist anhand klar definierter Kriterien heute rasch und einfach gestellt.

Methodik

In einer Übersicht werden die aktuellen diagnostischen Standards bei akuter Pankreatitis dargestellt.

Ergebnisse

Klinische, laborchemische und bildgebende Befunde sind additive Faktoren für die sichere Evaluierung des Schweregrades der Pankreatitis.

Schlußfolgerungen

Neben der Sicherung der Diagnose ist die frühzeitige Klärung der Ätiologie sowie die Abschätzung der Prognose für die Planung einer adäquaten Therapie von Bedeutung.

Summary

Background

The diagnosis of an attack of acute pancreatitis can be easily accomplished by means of clearly defined symptom.

Methods

The current diagnostic standards in the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis are reviewed.

Results

Clinical, biochemical and imaging diagnostic procedures are contributing factors for the distinct assessment of the severity of the pancreatitis.

Conclusions

Besides the confirmation of the diagnosis an early conceptional evaluation of etiology and prognosis is mandatory for an adequate therapy.
