【Abstract】Objective To study the change of pancreatic microcirculation in the early phase of acute pancreatitis. MethodsLiteratures on acute pancreatitis and microcirculation were collected and reviewed.ResultsPancreatic microcirculation has changed in the early phase of acute pancreatitis, including contraction of interlobular arteriole, slowing of blood fluid, increasing of pancreatic vascular permeability, leukocyte adherence in postcapillary venules, and decreasing of pancreatic perfusion.Conclusion Impairment of pancreatic microcirculation in the early phase of acute pancreatitis may play a key role in the progression of this disease.
