Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a severe inflammation of the pancreas presented with sudden onset and severe abdominal pain and has high morbidity and mortality rate. Serum albumin levels can be an indicator of malnutrition that in turn is associated with impaired immune response in cancer patients. Aim: To evaluate the role of C‐Reactive protein and albumin ratio in acute pancreatitis. Methods: This was a Prospective study started after approval from institutional research review board to April 2021 and another 2 months were required for the write up at Department of General Medicine, SMS Medical College and attached group of hospitals, Jaipur. The study included Sample size of 55 cases of acute pancreatitis as per previous studies showing the CRP/Albumin ratio correlation with Ranson and calcium is r ‐0.518 and 0.504 for 80% power and 0.05 a error. The patients were taken for detailed history including past treatment and personal history to identify possible etiologies and a thorough clinical examination to identify the evidence of acute pancreatitis. This study included sample size of 55 cases. Here, we found that out of 55 patient majority (38.18%) of patients were of age 20‐35 years and 51‐65 years each followed by 20% patients of 36‐50 years age group. The mean age of our study by 44.23 years. In our study out of 55 patient 65.4% (36) patients were male and 34.5% patients were female. Here, in the ward found that majority (43.6%) of patients were diagnosed with alcoholic pancreatitis followed by 25.4% with gall stone pancreatitis followed by 18.18% of idiopathic acute pancreatitis. We found that a higher CRP/ALB ratio at presentation was associated with a higher risk of death before discharge.
