Abstract		Background. Acute pancreatitis comprises a broad spectrum of inflammatory changes in the gland and has a variety of causes. The most common are alcoholism and biliary tract disease. This paper discusses the current concepts of diagnosis and the relationship between morphology as depieted by imaging, pancreatic function tests and treatment planning. Conclusions. Our understanding of the morphologic changes produced by the inflammatory process has expanded in the last decade as more sophisticated imaging techniques have been used for evaluation.
Summary		Izhodišča. Akutni pankreatitis zajema širok spekter vnetnih sprememb parenhima pankreasa, najpogostejša vzroka sta alkoholizem in žolčni kamni, drugi pa so redkejši. V članku obravnavamo diagnostične metode, povezavo med morfološkimi ugotovitvami, laboratorijskimi testi in načinom zdravljenja. Zaključki. Moderne diagnostične metode, ki so danes na voljo, so pripomogle k boljšemu poznavanju morfoloških sprememb, ki jih akutni pankreatitis povzroča.
