INTRA-ABDOMINAL PRESSURE AND PROCALCITONIN AS MARKERS IN PREDICTING THE EVOLUTION OF ACUTE PANCREATITIS
Abstract:
Acute pancreatitis is one of the main causes of intra-abdominal high pressure and intraabdominal compartment syndrome. The aim of this study is to identify the correlation between procalcitonin (PCT) and intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) and to demonstrate their importance in the prediction of the severity of acute pancreatitis. To classify the severity of acute pancreatitis we used as prognostic indicators Ranson score and Apache II score.
