  • The study evaluated serum albumin levels within 24 hours of admission in 371 patients with acute pancreatitis to determine their impact on outcomes and mortality over a 5-year period.
  • Findings revealed that 33.4% of patients had hypoalbuminemia, which was linked to older age and higher rates of complications, such as systemic inflammatory response syndrome and pleural effusion.
  • The results suggest that low serum albumin levels are a significant indicator for predicting persistent organ failure and increased mortality in acute pancreatitis cases.
