title: [Acute pancreatitis: etiopathogenesis, physiopathology and clinical aspects].
abstract: Acute pancreatitis is a serious clinical problem. Many of the etiopathogenic mechanisms are not clear and its pathophysiology is very complex, with multisystemic implications. The outcome may be severe, and there is no general agreement on the therapeutic approach. In the present paper we review the newest etiopathogenic and physiopathologic concepts on acute pancreatitis as well as the diagnostic criteria on this condition.
