Nutritional Management of Acute Pancreatitis
Acute pancreatitis (AP) remains among the most common gastrointestinal disorders leading to hospital admission. Optimizing nutritional support and maintaining gut function is instrumental in recovery of patients with AP. Enteral nutrition remains one of the only interventions with demonstrated mortality benefit in AP largely through preservation of gut function, serving to preserve the gut barrier as means to mitigate immune dysregulation and systemic inflammation inherent to AP.
