Sažetak
Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas that can be acute and often progress to chronic pancreatitis. Like in most diseases, patients with pancreatitis have a negative energy balance. They have an increased caloric expenditure due to inflammation and a decreased intake due to abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Hypocalcaemia and hypomagnesaemia can occur even with the first episode of acute pancreatitis. Patients with long-standing excessive alcohol intake may have thiamine and folate deficiencies in addition to protein-calorie malnutrition. Patients with chronic pancreatitis can have deficiency of fat-soluble vitamins, particularly vitamins D, E, A, K, β-carotene and B12. The basis of nutritional management in pancreatitis is to meet the energy needs of the patient through appropriate calorie administration. This is particularly important in acute pancreatitis because it may reduce complications and decrease hospital stays.
