Abstract: Nutritional support is one of the core issues in the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Recently, with continued advances in this field, more and more evidences were found in the strategies, methods and routes of nutritional support for patients with SAP. Meanwhile, with deeper understanding of pathogenesis and metabolic characteristics of severe patients in acute phase, we may have a better understanding in the strategies of nutritional support from the pathogenesis and pathophysiology aspects. In this paper, we discuss the hotspots and challenges over recent year in the nutritional support of SAP. We aim to give a clear insight into current progress and help to individualize the nutritional program.
