AB A  third  of  all  patients  with  acute  pancreatitis  develop  complications,  and  a  quarter  of  those  patients  will  not  survive,  but  recovery  is  now  expected  for  the  remainder  because  of  improvements  in  the  diagnosis  and  management  of  acute  pancreatitis.1  The  complications  of  acute  pancreatitis  can  be  local,  regional,  and/or  systemic.  The  most  important  determinants  of  the  severity  of  acute  pancreatitis  are  infected  local  complications  and  persistent  organ  dysfunction,2  which  are  the  basis  for  classifying  acute  pancreatitis  severity  (Table  69-1).3,4  This  chapter  focuses  on  the  diagnosis  and  management  of  these  important  complications  of  acute  pancreatitis.
