Objective To study the change of pancreatic
microcirculation in the early phase of
acute pancreatitis.
Methods Literatures on
acute pancreatitis and
microcirculation were collected and reviewed.Results Pancreatic
microcirculation has changed in the early phase of
acute pancreatitis, including contraction of interlobular
arteriole, slowing of
blood fluid, increasing of pancreatic
vascular permeability,
leukocyte adherence in postcapillary
venules, and decreasing of pancreatic
perfusion.Conclusion Impairment of pancreatic
microcirculation in the early phase of
acute pancreatitis may
play a key
role in the progression of this
disease.
