Intra-pancreatic fat deposition and visceral fat volume are associated with the presence of diabetes after acute pancreatitis.

In conclusion, individuals with diabetes after AP have higher intra-pancreatic fat%, VFV, and V/S fat volume ratio. Levels of C-reactive protein during AP are significantly associated with VFV whereas biliary AP is significantly associated with intra-pancreatic fat%. 0.047). In conclusion, individuals with diabetes after AP have higher VFV, V/S ratio, and PF%. Levels of CRP during AP are significantly associated with VFV whereas biliary AP is significantly associated with PF%. PMID: 30920289 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
