Publications & Presentations
Research & Publications :
- Role of serum fibronectin- serum d-dimer and other coagulation parameter levels in the diagnosis and prediction of severity in acute pancreatitis. We have studied 90 patients with acute pancreatitis and serially followed them with serum analysis for these markers during in hospital stay. We have correlated these markers with various clinical parameters and events occurring in acute pancreatitis. We intend to analyze their serum NFKB – TNF – alpha – IL levels and study the cytokine storm pattern occurring in acute pancreatitis.
