Advances in Research on Early Predictive Value of Biomarkers for Severity of Acute Pancreatitis / 胃肠病学

ABSTRACT

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a commonly seen disease of digestive system and with the characteristics of acute onset and high mortality. The existing scoring systems and biochemical indices for early prediction of AP severity are complicated and lagging in time. With the deepening of research, the emergence of new biomarkers, such as immature granulocyte percentage, red blood cell distribution width, can timely and effectively assess the severity of AP. This article reviewed the progress of research on biomarkers for predicting the severity of AP.
