Abstract:Objective: Reactive oxygen radicals are generated in the early stages of acute pancreatitis (AP) and are responsible for its progression.

Methods: Patients admitted to the emergency department due to upper abdominal pain were evaluated. The study consisted of two groups: the AP group and the non-AP group (patients w… Show more
