Pancreatitis
Conditions
Brief summary
In the early phase of pancreatits, factors that can give information about the development of severety are still lacking. In this study patients will be included prospectively upon the diagnosis of pancreatits and clinical as well as labarotory and radiological factors will be sampled. The aim is do identifiy factors that may aid in the risk stratification for development of different severity grades of pancreatitis.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Se-osteopontin | Within 3 days from diagnosis | Se-osteopontin will be measured at admission and on day 2 and 3 of hospital stay. The change over time will be correlated to severety of pancreatitis as classified in the current Atlanta classification. |
