The effects of treating acute pancreatitis are still unsatisfactory. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of peritoneal lavage when treating acute pancretits, which was experimentally induced using sodium taurocholate. Isotonic salt solution was injected intraperitoneally three times per day. Serum amylase, lipase activity and urinal amylase activity were measured. Macroscopic images were analyzed and microscopic changes of the pancreas were estimated using Spormann's classification. The results indicate that peritoneal lavage appears to be an efficient method of treating acute pancreatitis.
