Similarly, a study investigating the urinary levels of LCN2 in a cohort of more than 100 patients with inflammation of the pancreas found that the levels of LCN2 correlated with the severity of acute pancreatitis and mortality rate indicating that LCN2 could also be useful as biomarker for acute pancreatitis (Lipinski et al., 2015). The gene discussed is LCN2; the disease is acute pancreatitis.
