Utility of Presepsin for Diagnosis of Infected Acute Necrotizing Pancreatitis
INTRODUCTION
Acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) is a surgical disease caused by primary aseptic necrosis of the pancreatic tissues, accompanied by the development of SIRS in both aseptic and infected necrosis. In recent years there has been a significant increase in the number of patients with infected forms of ANP and the development of septic complications, whose mortality reaches 5.5-35.2%.
