Description: Relates to the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis to secretory mechanisms, and the construction of a unified concept of the etiology of inflammation within the pancreas. Evidence is accumulated from anatomic studies, manometric determinations of the intracholedochal and intrapancreatic ductal secretory pressures, physiologic investigations in experimental pancreatitis, and analyses of the clinical correlations observed in human pancreatitis.
