The important markers for diagnosis of acute pancreatitis are general indicators, blood indicators and imaging indicators, as follows: 1. General indicators: Most patients suddenly had severe upper abdominal pain in the early stage, mostly in the left and middle abdomen, a few radiated to the back, accompanied by nausea, vomiting and abdominal distension symptoms. The vomitus was mostly stomach contents, bile and caffeine liquid. Skin bruising may occur around the ribs or umbilicus. Some patients even had ascites and abnormal bowel sounds. The above are early symptoms of acute pancreatitis, and can also be used as general indicators to help doctors initially determine whether it is acute pancreatitis. 2. Blood indicators: Patients with acute pancreatitis generally need to check the changes in serum, blood amylase and lipase. If the indicators are more than 3 times the upper limit of normal, there is a high possibility of acute pancreatitis. 3. Imaging indicators: Can be further confirmed by enhanced ct, color Doppler ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, imaging can be seen on the pancreas obviously enlarged, pancreatic duct expansion, accompanied by obvious exudation around the pancreas. Due to acute pancreatitis onset, short course of disease, diagnosis needs to be diagnosed within 48 hours of the patient's visit, any two of the above three items can be diagnosed as acute pancreatitis.
