Overview
Acute pancreatitis can either be classified according to its phase (early or late), or according to its level of severity.
Classification
The revised Atlanta classification for acute pancreatitis classifies it as:
- Mild pancreatitis (interstitial or edematous): inflammation of parenchyma of pancreas without local or systemic complications.
- Severe pancreatitis (necrotising or organ failure): severe pancreatitis causing local and systemic manifestations.[1]
Acute pancreatitis is further distinguished clinically into early phase (1st week) and late phase (after the 1st week).
