Sažetak
Clinical manifestations of acute pancreatitis are of wide spectra, and often represent
diferential diagnostic problem. Bad prognosis and high costs of treatment demand early
diagnosis and adequate treatment. In the approach to the patient with suspected acute
pancreatitis the most important are detailed medical history and physical examination
which together with suggestive laboratory findings points the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis.
Early diagnosis can prevent the development of local and/or systemic complications and
reduce mortallity.
