[The effect of 5-fluorouracil on lipid metabolism in patients with acute pancreatitis].

The state of lipid metabolism was investigated in 72 patients with acute pancreatitis using the method of thin-layer chromatography on "Silufol" plates. It was established that the level of general phospholipids underwent a reduction in destructive pancreatitis. The level of triglycerids reduced sharply after treatment with 5-fluoruracil. The revealed changes were the basis for instituting fatty emulsions and lipid mixtures in the treatment of these patients.
