Background:
The prognostic role of peripheral lymphocyte subsets in early stage of acute pancreatitis (AP) is unknown.
Methods:
After enrollment, blood samples were collected in the first 24 hours of the onset of AP in 164 patients. The lymphocyte count and the percentage of CD3+, CD3+CD4+, CD3+CD8+, CD3-CD19+and CD3-CD (16 + 56)+ cells were assessed.
Results:
Reduction of the lymphocyte count and the percentage of CD3+CD8+ and CD3-CD (16 + 56)+ cells within 24 hours of the onset of AP as well as an increase in the percentage of CD3+ and CD3+CD4+ cells were observed. The percentage of CD3-CD (16 + 56)+ cells had the highest accuracy in prediction of AP severity.
Conclusions:
Marked changes of the percentages of lymphocyte subset were found in peripheral blood in the early stage of AP. The percentage of CD3-CD (16 + 56)+ cells in peripheral blood could be a potent prognostic predictor.

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:
