Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between apoA-I, chemerin, and Procalcitonin (PCT) and the severity of hyperlipidaemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HLAP), as well as the importance of their application in the diagnosis of severe HLAP. This study was conducted at the 363 Hospital, Chengdu City, China, from January 2016 to August 2020. There were significant differences in the levels of serum apoA-I, chemerin, and PCT among the three—mild, moderate and severe—groups (all p <0.001). Serum apoA-I was negatively correlated with chemerin and PCT levels in the severe group (p=0.006, p=0.011, respectively). Serum chemerin and PCT levels in the severe group was a positive correlation (p=0.032). Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve area of serum apoA-I in the diagnosis of severe HLAP was 0.808 (95% CI:0.727-0.888, p value <0.001), which was higher than that in serum chemerin and PCT, ---Continue
