Acute pancreatitis is characterized by inflammationof the pancreas that ranges from mild inflammationto severe necrotizing pancreatitis (1-3).Several factors can initiate a cascade of pathologic events that results in AP (4). A key feature in thispathogenesis is inflammatory reaction. However,causes of exaggerated inflammatory reaction are notwell understood (4,5). Since the pathogenesis of pancreatitisis still unclear, most of the treatment modalitiesare largely supportive and independent of thepathogenesis (1,2).
