CRP Levels And Leukocytes

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is described as activation of pancreas enzymes inside the pancreas and digestion of pancreas tissue via its own enzymes (autodigestion). Acute pancreatitis is diagnosed consistent with criteria indicated in Atlanta symposium in 1992, namely abdominal pain amid three-fold increase in serum amylase or lipase levels. Consistent with this symposium, acute pancreatitis is assessed into two groups, as mild and severe disease states. While rate of mild disease is 70-80% in acute pancreatitis, severe cases present with a rate of 20-30%. Though certain variations in etiology are seen in several countries, gallbladder stones and alcohol is held responsible in approximately 70- 80% of cases. Various scoring systems are getting used to work out clinical severity and prognosis in acute pancreatitis. Ranson may be a specific rating system for acute pancreatitis and is predicated on certain clinical and laboratory findings of patients at referral and at 48th hour. APACHE II is quite a general scoring system; beginning from initial referral to hospital, it provides evaluation of certain physiological functions and general health status of patients at 24-hour intervals. BISAP score also are newer rating system for pancreatitis.
