Abstract
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a common acute critical illness with high mortality. The occurrence, progression and prognosis of SAP are closely related to the imbalance of the immune system which is aggressive in early stage and immunosuppressive in lately stage. Enteral nutrition not only can provide the necessary nutrients for metabolism, but also regulate the immune function including intestinal immunity, systemic immunity, humoral immunity and cellular immunity. Enteral nutrition has become an important part of comprehensive treatments for SAP. This article reviews the latest research data on enteral nutrition and its impact on various immune functions in SAP patients.
