Analysis shows apolipoprotein A2 isoform changes relate to disease progression in chronic pancreatitis patients, suggesting potential for monitoring.

A positive apolipoprotein A2 isoform index is linked to more advanced chronic pancreatitis stages, indicating disease severity.
52.1% of patients showed a positive apoA2-i index, with greater rates of hypo-processing in later disease stages.
Assessment involved measuring plasma concentrations and classifying apoA2 processing types alongside clinical assessments.
Findings suggest that the apoA2-i index may help identify patients with impaired pancreatic exocrine function.

Abe et al. (2025) studied this question.
