suPAR is the soluble form of urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) and is positively correlated with inflammation and immune activation.[29] Research has come to light that shows that suPAR may play a major role in predicting outcomes of AP such as severity, organ failure, and fatality.[16,17,19–25]. This evidence concerns the gene PLAUR and alkaline phosphatase measurement.
