Plasma level of soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) predicts long-term mortality after first acute alcohol-induced pancreatitis.

CONCLUSIONS: P-suPAR level on admission or after recovery of the first AAP does not predict the recurrence of AAP during long-term follow-up. However, P-suPAR ≥3.4 mg/mL measured after recovery from first AAP is associated with an increased risk of 10-year mortality as an independent factor. This can be used to detect patients with highest risk after AAP, in order to focus the preventive healthcare actions. PMID: 31060962 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
