Abstract
Acute Pancreatitis is defined as an inflammatory process of the pancreas with peripancreatic tissue and multiorgan involvement inducing multiorgan dysfunction syndrome with an increased mortality. Development of organ dysfunction within 3 days is defined as an early severe pancreatitis. To assess the laboratory parameters namely Serum albumin, Serum triglyceride, INR, Serum Electrolytes and CRP and correlate the severity index of acute pancreatitis i.e., Balthazar index with above Laboratory parameters. The present study was a Prospective Study. This study was conducted from Complete Enumeration technique during this 6 month period at TMC and DR. BRAM Teaching hospital with diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. Among the male participants, a substantial majority (88 Patients) fell within the reference range for INR (0.9 to 1.1). A smaller portion (12 Patients) had INR values exceeding the upper limit (>1.1). This distribution underscores the predominance of participants with INR values within the normal range among males in the study. Serum Sodium Levels: The majority of male participants (65 individuals) had serum sodium levels within the recommended range (135‐145 meq L-1). A significant proportion (29 patients) had hypernatremia (>145 meq L-1), indicating high serum salt levels. A smaller proportion (6 patients) had hyponatremia (135 meq L-1), which means their serum sodium levels were lower than usual. CT severity index (Mortele) is good, to describe clinical profile and outcome of patient with acute pancreatits and correlation with Other severity index. It detects pancreatic necrosis and depict local complications and grading of severity. Mortele index is better than Balthazar index. Revised Atlanta classification is better and more accurate in comparison to Mortele index and Balthazar index for assasing the outcome, i.e. mortality and morbidity.
