Detection of plasma D-dimer and C-reactive protein in patients with acute pancreatitis and their clinical significance

Objective To explore the clinical value of plasma D-dimer(DD) and C-reactive protein(CRP) detected in patients with acute pancreatitis(AP).Methods 67 patients with AP,including mild acute pancreatitis(MAP) 38 cases and severe acute pancreatitis(SAP) 29 cases,and 30 health checkup patients(control group) were selected.The plasma DD and CRP levels were detected in AP patients and control group.Results The levels of plasma DD and CRP in MAP group and SAP group were significantly higher than that of the control(P 0.01),while the plasma DD and CRP levels in SAP group were obviously higher than those of MAP group(P 0.01).Conclusion Detection of plasma DD combined with CRP in AP patients have important clinical value for judgment of the severity.
