Abstract Background: To investigate the value of serum hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HBDH) level, an isozyme of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), in evaluating the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP).Methods: Patients diagnosed with AP from January 2013 to December 2018 were included in this retrospective study. Patients were divided into the normal serum HBDH levels group (n-HBDH group) and the high serum HBDH levels group (h-HBDH group) according to the criteria HBDH ≥ 182 U/L after admission. The demographic parameters, laboratory data and the severity of AP in the two groups were compared. The receiver operating curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the efficacy of serum HBDH in predicting persistent organ failure and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).Results: A total of 260 AP patients were enrolled, including 176 cases in the n-HBDH group and 84 cases in the h-HBDH group. The incidence of SIRS and organ failure in the h-HBDH group were significantly higher than those in n-HBDH group (both P < 0.001). In addition, the HBDH level was significantly decreased in 110 patients who were re-measured after AP treatment. The serum HBDH levels were positively correlated with Atlanta classification, Ranson score, and BISAP score (all P < 0.05). ROC analysis showed that a serum HBDH cut-off point of 195.0 U/L had optimal predictive value for the development of persistent organ failure (AUC = 0.778) and 166.5 U/L for the development of SIRS (AUC = 0.724).Conclusion: The elevated serum HBDH in early stage of AP is closely related to the adverse prognosis of AP patients, which can be used as a potential early biomarker for predicting the severity of AP.

Abstract Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease caused by premature activation of the zymogen, which could lead to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and organ failure. Currently, some clinical multi-factor scoring systems have already been used to predict the occurrence of SAP, However, all these methods are complicated and difficult to obtain the first data.Methods: Patients diagnosed with AP from January 2013 to December 2018 were included in this retrospective study. Patients were divided into the normal serum HBDH levels group (n-HBDH group) and the high serum HBDH levels group (h-HBDH group) according to the HBDH ≥ 182U/L after admission. The demographic parameters, laboratory data and the severity of AP in the two groups were compared. The receiver operating curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the efficacy of serum HBDH in predicting persistent organ failure and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).Results: A total of 260 AP patients were enrolled, including 176 cases in the n-HBDH group and 84 cases in the h-HBDH group. The incidence of SIRS and organ failure in the h-HBDH group were significantly higher than those in n-HBDH group (both P < 0.001). In addition, the serum HBDH levels were positively correlated with Atlanta classification, Ranson score, and BISAP score (all P < 0.05). ROC analysis showed that a serum HBDH cut-off point of 195.0 U/L had optimal predictive value for the development of persistent organ failure (AUC = 77.8%) and 166.5 U/L for the development of SIRS (AUC = 72.4%).Conclusion: The elevated serum HBDH in early stage of AP is closely related to the adverse prognosis of AP patients, which can be used as a potential early biomarker for the severity of AP.

Introduction: The research emphasises on the association bond of Serum Albumin Level used as a marker for diagnosis of Persistent Organ Failure in Acute Pancreatitis. Material and Methods: The samples for the study were collected from the central lab, out-patient department and in-patient department of Department of Biochemistry, adult patients suffering from Acute Pancreatitis correlated to tropical medicinal stream and Gastroenterology Rabindranath Tagore Medical College, Udaipur, Rajasthan  The research was carried out on a total of 100 patients for  1 year  which  were satisfying   Atlanta criteria  for Acute Pancreatitis will be diagnosed based on the following symptoms; elevated serum amylase, and lipase levels, that is greater than the normal limit, findings associated with the characteristics of the radiological findings. Also, with the abdominal computerized ultrasonography and tomography Results: In the present research, albumin always descends obviously in AP patients with POF (p < 0.05). The AUC under ROC line is 0.869. Albumin has been proved as an excellent marker of POF in AP. However, no previous study has researched into the association between albumin and incidence of POF in AP. Therefore, this study is the first time to show that the reduction of serum albumin is significantly associated with increased risk of POF in AP. Conclusion: Thus it can be concluded that serum albumin on admission is independently associated with POF in AP. The study suggests that albumin is a valuable tool for a rapid assessment of POF in patients with AP. Keywords: Serum Albumin, Persistent Organ Failure, Acute Pancreatitis

ObjectiveThere is emerging evidence that the pancreas may be a target organ of SARS-CoV-2 infection. This aim of this study was to investigate the outcome of patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) and coexistent SARS-CoV-2 infection.DesignA prospective international multicentre cohort study including consecutive patients admitted with AP during the current pandemic was undertaken. Primary outcome measure was severity of AP. Secondary outcome measures were aetiology of AP, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, length of hospital stay, local complications, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), persistent organ failure and 30-day mortality. Multilevel logistic regression was used to compare the two groups.Results1777 patients with AP were included during the study period from 1 March to 23 July 2020. 149 patients (8.3%) had concomitant SARS-CoV-2 infection. Overall, SARS-CoV-2-positive patients were older male patients and more likely to develop severe AP and ARDS (p<0.001). Unadjusted analysis showed that SARS-CoV-2-positive patients with AP were more likely to require ICU admission (OR 5.21, p<0.001), local complications (OR 2.91, p<0.001), persistent organ failure (OR 7.32, p<0.001), prolonged hospital stay (OR 1.89, p<0.001) and a higher 30-day mortality (OR 6.56, p<0.001). Adjusted analysis showed length of stay (OR 1.32, p<0.001), persistent organ failure (OR 2.77, p<0.003) and 30-day mortality (OR 2.41, p<0.04) were significantly higher in SARS-CoV-2 co-infection.ConclusionPatients with AP and coexistent SARS-CoV-2 infection are at increased risk of severe AP, worse clinical outcomes, prolonged length of hospital stay and high 30-day mortality.
