Figure 1: Individual values of serum CAPAP, amylase, lipase and C-reactive protein (CRP) in patients with acute pancreatitis, in those with non-pancreatic acute abdomen and in healthy subjects. The horizontal solid lines indicate the upper reference limit of each protein. Eighteen patients with non-pancreatic acute abdomen and 20 healthy subjects had no detectable serum concentrations of CAPAP (less than 0.63 nmol/L). a P < 0.001 vs. patients with acute pancreatitis b P < 0.01 vs. patients with acute pancreatitis c P < 0.001 vs. patients with non-pancreatic acute abdomen
