Abstract:
Objective To investigate the predictive value of C-reactive protein(CRP)and serum calcium in the patients with acute pancreatitis(AP).Methods 85 cases of AP in our hospital from January to December 2013 were selected as the study subjects,in-cluding 40 cases of mild acute pancreatitis(MAP)and 45 cases of severe acute pancreatitis(SAP).40 cases of normal volunteers were selected as the control group.The levels of serum calcium and CRP were detected in the three groups by the automatic bio-chemical analyzer and turbidimetric immunoassay.Results The levels of serum calcium in the MAP and SAP groups was on the low side and significantly lower than that in the control group,but which in the MAP group were higher than that in the SAP group,the differences were statistically significant(P <0.05).The level of serum CRP in the MAP group and SAP group was high-er than that in the control group,and which in the SAP group was higher than that in the MAP group,the difference was statistical-ly significant(P <0.05).The level of serum calcium on the third after admission in the MAP and SAP groups was significantlyin-creased compared with the day of admission(P <0.05),but the levels of CRP in the MAP and SAP groups were significantly de-creased,the difference was statistically significant(P <0.05).The CRP detection was more in clinic,but the experiment indicating that simultaneous detection of serum CRP and calcium could significantly increase the accuracy,sensitivity and specificity of clinical judgement,the difference had statistical significance(P <0.05).Conclusion Serum calcium and CRP can be used as the predictive indexes for the condition progression and prognosis of acute pancreatitis and their joint examination can improve the sensitivity,spe-cificity and accuracy of the detection.
