[Changes of cytokine levels in the serum in patients with acute pancreatitis as an early symptom for diagnosis].
Changes of concentration of proinflammatory cytokines--tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin-1, growth transforming factor, granulocyte--macrophage colony stimulating factor in the blood serum of patients with probable diagnosis of an acute pancreatitis (AP) were examined. Seven days before the disease occurrence the TNF concentration rise was observed, what proved, by the authors opinion, its significance as an early diagnostic criterion for AP. Other diagnostic methods did not prove their information value in determination of the disease occurrence during the 7 day premorbid period.
