Overview

Currently, issues related to the etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of pancreatitis remain relevant in modern medicine. Chronic pancreatitis is a pressing socio-economic problem, accounting for 0.6% of cases of temporary disability and 9% of all causes of gastrointestinal diseases. A number of scientists believe that inflammatory processes in the pancreas may be based on immune response disorders, namely allergic reactions and bacterial factors. However, to date, immune disorders in patients with chronic pancreatitis remain poorly studied. Currently, most scientific studies on the cytokine profile in chronic pancreatitis are experimental in nature, which is not always confirmed in clinical practice. One of the most important mechanisms of the pathogenesis of pancreatic inflammation is the imbalance between pro-inflammatory and regulatory cytokines. This teaching aid is intended for medical students, interns, postgraduates, master's residents, as well as doctors and immunology researchers working in the field of pancreatology.
