Prebiotics in Immuno-Modulation for Treatment of Acute Pancreatitis

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Dietary Components and Immune Function

Part of the book series: Nutrition and Health ((NH))

Key Points

Intestinal mucosal immune system plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of severe acute pancreatitis and its associated complications. Prebiotics restore intestinal bacteria flora in patients with severe acute pancreatitis. Moreover, they exert beneficial anti-infective and metabolic effects. Earlier studies show that prebiotics improve clinical outcome in patients with severe acute pancreatitis. More research is warranted to study the effects of different prebiotics and optimal doses of prebiotics on the clinical outcome in patients with acute pancreatitis.
