Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the management of acute and chronic pancreatitis, along with the complications arising from these conditions, has evolved. The acute and chronic injury of the pancreas still represents a clinical challenge, despite significant advancements in imaging, minimally invasive interventions and our enhanced knowledge of the pathophysiological pathways involved in the evolution of these diseases. For the potential evolution of acute pancreatitis, multiple scoring systems and classifications are employed. However, providing personalized treatment according to its causes and emerging complications further raises several clinical questions.
In this Special Issue, we welcome papers that address the wide spectrum of acute and chronic pancreatitis, including, but not limited to, pathophysiology, autoimmunity, novel biomarkers for diagnostics and prognosis, improved management, and personalized treatment.
