Why the study?
Are elevated serum Ang-2 levels on admission associated with persistent organ failure in patients with acute pancreatitis?
Are elevated serum Ang-2 levels on admission associated with persistent organ failure in patients with acute pancreatitis?
Serum Ang-2 levels on admission may serve as a useful biomarker for predicting persistent organ failure in patients with acute pancreatitis.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support Ang-2 for early organ-failure risk stratification in acute pancreatitis; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Elevated serum Ang-2 levels on admission are associated with and may be a useful biomarker of predicting persistent organ failure and ongoing endothelial cell activation in AP.
