| Core Tip |
Currently, the assessment of acute pancreatitis severity on admission remains a challenge to clinicians. A single, rapid biochemical marker is the preferred choice than clinical and computed tomography scoring systems. In this study, the value of urinary trypsinogen activation peptide (uTAP), on admission, in predicting severity of acute pancreatitis was assessed. It was found that the ability of uTAP to predict severity of acute pancreatitis on admission was comparable to C-reactive protein (at 48 h) and was potentially better than the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ score (at 48 h), the most frequently used biochemical marker and clinical scoring system in acute pancreatitis, respectively. |
