Objective:
Aim: To identify markers for predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis and the possible development of pancreatic necrosis.
Patients And Methods:
Materials and Methods: Prospective analysis of 81 patients with moderate and severe acute pancreatitis while performing correlation analysis, building a logistic regression model.
Results:
Results: A direct correlation of medium strength between sFGL2 and the following parameters was found D-dimer (R=0.47 (p<0.001)), C-reactive protein (R=0.3 (p=0.03)), intra-abdominal pressure (R=0.54 (p<0.0001)). It was discovered that such indicators as: BISAP score (OR=1.62 95%CI 0.99-2.66) p=0.05, sFGL2 (OR=1.01 95%CI 1.0-1.05) p=0.007, CRP (OR=1.01 95%CI 1.0-1.01) p=0.02, D-dimer (OR=2.59 95%CI 1.57-4.26) p=0.0002, intra-abdominal pressure (OR=195 95%CI 1, 39-2.72) p=0.0001 allow to predict the progression of necrotic changes in the pancreatic tissue and retroperitoneal space. And such indicators as: BISAP scale (OR=2.19 95%CI 1.33-3.59) p=0.002, sFGL2 (OR=1.01 95%CI 1.0-1.1) p=0.0002, CRP (OR=1.02 95%CI 1.01-1.02) p<0.0001, D-dimer (OR=1.99 95%CI 1.4-2.83) p=0.0001, intra-abdominal pressure (OR=2.36 95%CI 1.59-3.5) p<0.0001) may play a role in predicting worsening of acute pancreatitis.
Conclusion:
Conclusions: It has been revealed that elevated levels of sFGL2, D-dimer and intra-abdominal pressure can predict the progression of necrotic changes in the pancreatic tissue and retroperitoneal space. And such indicators as the BISAP score, sFGL2, CRP, D-dimer and intra-abdominal pressure may play a role in predicting the deterioration of acute pancreatitis.

01:27Acute 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:
01:24Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...
