title: [SIRS and CARS: discussion based on the pathologic condition of acute pancreatitis].
abstract: Relationship between SIRS and CARS in the pathologic condition of acute pancreatitis was discussed. SIRS promotes excessive inflammatory reaction and CARS induces the susceptibility to infection. Both conditions can develop into organ failure in acute pancreatitis. Hence, countermeasures for both conditions are mandatory in the care of patients with acute pancreatitis.
