- Abstract
Introduction. Acute pancreatitis is defined as an inflammatory disease with inflammation as well as local and systemic complications. With an incidence of 10-50 cases per 100 000 inhabitants in the United States of America. There are multiple diagnostic and prognostic tools, including the determination of urinary trypsinogen-2. Material and Methods. It is a prospective, analytical cohort study in patients with suspected acute pancreatitis. Age, sex, time of evolution, risk factors, APACHE II and etiology were evaluated, as well as serum levels of amylase, lipase, and trypsinogen-2 test in urine. The results were analyzed by SPSS. Results. We found a good correlation of urinary trypsinogen-2 as a diagnostic test in patients with acute pancreatitis, but it does not seem to be a good prognostic marker of severity. Discussion. The results were consistent with those published in literature, finding an association of urinary trypsinogen-2 as a diagnostic marker.
