About this study

Official title: Imunomodulation in Acute Pancreatitis- How Can Cytokines, B and T Cells Predict the Outcome of the Disease

Acute pancreatitis is an acute inflammatory pathology of the pancreas with activation of both innate and adaptive immune system, including T and B lymphocytes and release of inflammatory cytokines. We aim to characterize the circulating profile of T and B cells, its regulatory populations and B cell maturation, as well as inflammatory cytokines, in a prospective way of 50 patients with acute pancreatitis admitted to Hospital da Luz Lisboa. Blood samples will be collected at hospital admission, 48h, one month and 6 months after hospitalization of patients, relating these values to the severity of acute pancreatitis. Patients with acute pancreatitis in the previous 6 months, diabetes mellitus, pregnant women, uncontrolled comorbidity and terminal neoplasms will be excluded. A control group of 30 ambulatory individuals observed at the Hospital da Luz Lisboa will be recruited. Laboratory evaluation will be performed at the Immunology Laboratory of NOVA Medical School.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To characterize the immune profile of patients with acute pancreatitis at admission, 48h after admission and at 1 month and 6 months after discharge.

    1. Blood collection for evaluation of B and T cell subpopulations as well as IL-1, IL6, TNFalpha also in blood collections will be performed in patients with acute pancreatitis in the first 24h of diagnosis, at 48 hours of hospitalization, one month after hospitalization and six months after the first determination.
    2. Application of the BISAP (Bedside Index of Severity in Acute Pancreatitis)score at admission
    3. Blood collection for RCP (mg/dl) determination in peripheral blood of these patients at hospital admission, 48h after the first determination and at discharge from hospital

    Measured: 4 years
