Plasma ADAMTS13 activity parallels the APACHE II score, reflecting an early prognostic indicator for patients with severe acute pancreatitis

Abstract

Plasma ADAMTS13:AC was closely related to the APACHE II score. This intimate relationship may serve as an early prognostic indicator for SAP patients. The imbalance between decreased ADAMTS13:AC and increased UL-VWFM could contribute to SAP pathogenesis through enhanced thrombogenesis.
