Mortality from severe acute pancreatitis reaches 42%. The prognosis of acute pancreatitis is associated with the development of acute inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and multiple organ failure (MOF). Due to the lack of etiological therapy, the treatment of acute pancreatitis is predominantly symptomatic. Severity and mortality are associated with early systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and septic complications at a later stage of the disease. With regard to the pronounced inflammatory response ("cytokine storm") during the early phase of endogenous intoxication of acute pancreatitis, extracorporeal removal of cytokines is a promising therapeutic approach. This prospective study examines the effect of early extracorporeal sorption of cytokines using the Efferon CT device on the severity of clinical symptoms of endogenous intoxication in acute pancreatitis and aseptic pancreatic necrosis.
