Abstract
Acute pancreatitis is a life-threatening inflammatory disorder of the pancreas. Currently, there is no effective pharmacological therapy available for this disorder. The management strategies remain supportive. Given the remarkable morbidity and mortality associated with acute pancreatitis, there is clearly a desperate need for effective novel therapies. This paper presents a review on the epidemiology, aetiology, pathogenesis and management of acute pancreatitis and highlights the need for the development of novel and more specific therapies to battle this disorder.
