CORRELATION BETWEEN INTRA-ABDOMINAL PRESSURE AND C- REACTIVE PROTEIN IN ACUTE PANCREATITIS
Abstract:
This study aimed at establishing the predictive value of the markers CRP and IAP within 48
hours from admission in patients with acute pancreatitis and to compare their predictive value. In our
study, we used CRP values at 48 hours after admission, as a predictive marker for the evolution to SAP
and we compared them with IAP at 48 hours and with Ranson and APACHE II scores also calculated at
48 hours. We used ROC curves for representation and comparison of APACHE II score, Ranson score,
CRP and IAP at 48 hours after admission and for determining their value as predictors of progression to
severe acute pancreatitis.
