STUDY OF SERUM CALCIUM AND SERUM AMYLASE IN PROGNOSIS OF ACUTE PANCREATITIS AND ITS MANAGEMENT

Background: Acute pancreatitis is one of the most common acute non-surgical emergenciesgetting admitted under general surgery unit. These patients generally at the time of presentation are very fragile and need adequate resuscitation which if failed can lead to SIRS which can eventually lead to MODS. Rise in serum amylase and fall in serum calcium are important diagnostic tools and their relationship can help in predicting better prognostic results in patients with acute pancreatitis
