Abstract:
More and more studies have found that red blood cell distribution width (RDW) can be used for acute pancreatitis (AP) classification, dynamic monitoring and evaluation of disease severity, mortality, prognosis and complication. Some inflammatory markers, such as procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and pancreatitis scoring system are also associated with severity of AP, and can further improve the evaluation of AP severity when combined with RDW. This article reviewed the RDW and classification of AP, the dynamic changes of RDW and AP, RDW combined with inflammatory indices for prediction of severity of AP, and RDW combined with pancreatitis scoring system for prediction of severity of AP, so as to improve the understanding of predictive value of RDW in assessing the severity of AP.
