[Opportunities for volatile fatty acids using in early diagnostics of infected pancreonecrosis].

It was analyzed the treatment results of 108 patients with pancreonecrosis (PN). Gas-liquid chromatography with definition of blood concentration of volatile fatty acids (VFA) was used additionally for timely diagnostics of infected pancreonecrosis. Volatile fatty acids are toxic metabolites of microorganisms. Statistically significant threshold values of VFA were revealed. These values allow to diagnose timely early phase of PN infection and the nature of the microflora. It was defined changes of VFA depending on the severity of infectious process in pancreas and retroperitoneal fiber.
