The aim of the study was to evaluate and control the therapeutic validity of Somatostatin administration and the clinical benefits of parenteral nutrition during acute pancreatitis. We selected 31 patients with 1st and 2nd degree pancreatitis according to Ranson's classification. Diagnosis was based on clinical and humoral data and confirmed by echography and CT examinations. The most common etiological cause was biliary++ lithiasis (74.2%). All the patients in the study were split into two groups and received conventional treatment. The therapeutic schedule administered to group 1 included somatostatin (250 micrograms/h for 72-96 h), while group 2 received total parenteral nutrition with 2,000-2,500 Kal/day trough a central vein. The data obtained from our study demonstrated that both somatostatin and parenteral nutrition are valid tools during the acute phase of the disease. It must be pointed out that the former significantly influences the clinical course and allows a precise control of the painful symptomatology, the objective picture and the curve of the main hematochemical parameters. Parenteral nutrition betters the anabolic response of the organism during the acute phase and carries out an indirect antienzymatic response, so favouring a quicker recovery than observed in the group treated with somatostatin.
