Abstrakt:
Objectives: Early diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis (CP) would be important in order to stop the disease progression in time. Unfortunately, neither definitions nor biomarkers of early CP are available. It has been reported that acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) can lead to CP, therefore, the number of previous attacks or ARP-associated parameters may be suitable for characterizing
early CP. The main aim of this study is to identify biomarkers which are significantly different in acute pancreatitis (AP), ARP, and CP. Another aim is to understand the modifying effect of the number of acute episodes which could be considered as early CP.
