Microlithiasis as a Predictor of Disease Severity in Gallstone-induced Acute Pancreatitis

Key Points

To determine the relationship between gallstone size and the severity of pancreatitis.
Analyzed sizes of gallstones in patients diagnosed with pancreatitis
Measured AST levels as a potential marker for pancreatitis severity
Smaller gallstones are linked to a higher risk of developing pancreatitis
AST levels were not a reliable marker for gallstone-induced pancreatitis severity

Abstract

Our study revealed the following findings: A smaller size of gallstone is associated with a higher probability of development of pancreatitis; AST levels fail to be significant as a specific marker for gallstone-induced pancreatitis.
