Abstract
Particularly in this nation where alcohol consumption is more prevalent, acute pancreatitis (AP) continues to be one of the most significant causes of severe abdominal discomfort that victims experience. With a 30‐to 50% prevalence, gallstone disease is the most prevalent cause of the first attack. 20‐40% of patients with AP have an alcohol relationship. Alcohol misuse (31.7%) and biliary tract illness (41%) are the two primary causes worldwide. 220 research subjects in all were used for this investigation. A total of 110 individuals were diagnosed with acute pancreatitis using clinical, radiological and investigative means. These patients were assigned to the study group, whereas 110 people were assigned to the control group. The gastrointestinal department admitted all of the patients who had acute pancreatitis. Before the trial began, each individual provided written informed consent. The majority of the patients ranged in age from 21‐50. Between the cases and control group, the age mean was statistically non‐significant (p<0.05). In a similar vein, the chi‐square test revealed no statistically significant (p>0.05) difference in patient gender between cases and controls. Even though serum amylase is thought to be the most useful biochemical marker for acute pancreatitis diagnosis, it is not diagnostic in many situations, such as mild acute pancreatitis and those that manifest later in the illness. A more practical and accurate test for diagnosing acute pancreatitis is urinary amylase. Since urinary amylase has been shown to have similar sensitivity and specificity to serum amylase and serum lipase, it may be used to diagnose acute pancreatitis.
