CRP Albumin Ratio: A novel noninvasive and cost-effective method for assessing the severity of acute pancreatitis.

Introduction: Acute pancreatitis is a significant and potentially life-threatening gastrointestinal disorder that requires prompt and accurate diagnosis for effective treatment. Current diagnostic methods often involve expensive and inaccessible imaging studies, such as CT scans, limiting their utility in emergency settings and underserved areas.

Aim: This correspondence discusses an innovative and cost-effective approach to assessing the severity of acute pancreatitis, focusing on the C-Reactive Protein-Albumin Ratio (CAR).
