Why the study?
Are laboratory markers and body composition parameters associated with the severity of hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis?
Are laboratory markers and body composition parameters associated with the severity of hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis?
Low serum albumin and apolipoprotein A-I upon admission may serve as novel biomarkers for predicting the severity of hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis.
Low serum albumin and apolipoprotein A-I, and high C-reactive protein and lipase upon admission were associated with a more severe type of HTGP and longer hospital stay for these patients. Albumin and apolipoprotein A-I may serve as novel biomarkers for the severity of HTGP. However, none of the body composition parameters was associated with the severity of HTGP.
