A previous study shows patients who died from acute pancreatitis had high CRP values on admission (>160 mg/dl).27 In contrast to that, another study showed no link between raised CRP and mortality.24 CRP levels at the time of admission have been found to predict severity poorly, however, CRP >150 mg/dL within the first 48 hours has shown high sensitivity for predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis.28,29. This evidence concerns the gene CRP and acute pancreatitis.
