title: Nutritional care of pancreatitis and its complications.
abstract: This article reviews the current literary data on the role of conservative supportive treatment for acute pancreatitis, with special emphasis on parenteral and enteral nutrition. Despite the fact that the indications for both methods have been discussed, defined and widely accepted in recent years, enteral nutrition is currently the focus of recent clinical investigations for use in acute pancreatitis.
