Background- Acute pancreatitis is a potentially lethal acute inammatory process with a highly variable clinical course. Extreme form of the disease can develop in 25% of patients and with an estimated mortality of 40%.Methods- This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of RDW & NLR in suspecting the outcome in patients with acute pancreatitis. It was carried out among 50 patients who had acute pancreatitis and were diagnosed based on diagnostic criteria for acute pancreatitis. RDW, WBC count, platelet count, RBC count, haemoglobin level, MCV, Serum Amylase, lipase, serum creatinine, total protein, albumin, total bilirubin, calcium, glucose, LDH, SGOT and SGPT levels and Ultrasound abdomen were done. NLR & RDW were done on days 0 & 2, and is correlated with the severity Out of 50 study subjects ,78% of the subjects were Resultsclassied as mild acute pancreatitis group and 22% as severe acute pancreatitis group. There is signicant change in RDW in severe acute pancreatitis group. NLR showed signicant change in mild and severe acute pancreatitis. The change in value is more signicant in 0 & 48 hrs in severe acute pancreatitis group. Also, NLR has more signicant rise during admission than at 48 hours. RDW & NLR values along Conclusionwith various scoring systems will be helpful for accurately predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
