Acute pancreatitis is a disease of public health impact due to the increase in cases in recent years, especially the high incidence in acute pancreatitis. Acute pancreatitis is a cause of morbidity and mortality common in hospitals, where the most common cause of biliary origin was. A fundamental principle in the nutritional management of this entity is to avoid fasting for more than 7 days especially in severe acute pancreatitis, as this promotes malnutrition and increases the likelihood of developing infections and systemic complications. All patients admitted with a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis should be stratified in severity, and underwent a nutritional assessment at hospital admission, to early diagnose the severity of the disease at an early stage and to initiate nutritional support. There is consensus in favor early enteral nutrition over parenteral nutrition unless there contraindications to the first. Usually these patients are malnourished on admission norm but at risk of malnutrition by the hyper catabolism to which they are subjected, so that appropriate nutritional support is a key part in the treatment and favorable development of this pathology.
