Increase in visceral adipose tissue and subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness in children with acute pancreatitis. A case-control study.

CONCLUSION: In this study, WC, VAT, and SAT were found to be thicker in children with acute pancreatitis compared with healthy children without any difference in BMI. Further studies are needed to clarify whether adipose tissue thickness is an etiological cause or a secondary finding in patients with acute pancreatitis.
