Local parenchymal damage in acute pancreatitis has been well recognized for many years. This damage leads to a considerable leak of extracellular fluid and so to gross hypovolemia. It also produces the pain that is a major clinical feature of the disease. More recently, the autodigestive process has been recognized to generate, within and around the gland, a “broth” of many components that is vasoactive and tissue destructive and which, in turn, produces systemic changes. These changes affect the whole body and may lead to multiorgan damage. The coagulation mechanism, heart action, peripheral resistance, liver function, as well as the lungs, kidneys, brain, and endocrine homeostatic mechanism are all affected; these patterns and their clinical implications are reviewed. When this multisystem failure occurs in its severest form, the patient may best be described as in a state of “enzymic shock.” This hypothesis is not just of academic interest; it provides a working concept upon which to base a more scientific treatment of acute pancreatitis.
