title: [Lipid metabolism disorders in acute pancreatitis].
abstract: On the course of acute pancreatitis which occurred in 30 patients treated in our clinic changes in cholesterol, triglycerides and phospholipids levels were monitored during 7 days of hospitalization taking into account the severity and aetiology of disease. The decrease of cholesterol and phospholipids levels were observed in 3-rd and 7-th day of hospitalization. TGs concentrations however showed variability regarding aetiology and severity of acute pancreatitis lack of mentioned above lipid levels changes before the disease onset as well as their rapid normalization with healing suggest, that they are rather a consequence not a cause of acute pancreatitis.
