Core Tip The association between hypercalcemia and renal stone detection in acute pancreatitis is clinically important, but a 7-day timeline is biologically inconsistent with established lithogenesis. Serial ultrasonography during acute illness is more likely to reveal pre-existing silent microlithiasis or transient crystal aggregates than true de novo nephrolithiasis. Distinguishing unveiled prevalence from true incidence is essential because it changes both interpretation of the study and subsequent patient management.
