Role of Presepsin for the Assessment of Acute Cholangitis Severity
Background: Presepsin is a new emerging inflammatory biomarker. The primary purpose of this study was to elucidate the predictive usability of presepsin for severity assessment in patients with acute cholangitis (AC).
Methods: A total of 119 treatment-naive patients with AC (64 males, 55 females) were enrolled in this study. Patients were classified with Grade I (mild), Grade II (moderate), or Grade III (severe) AC based on severity assessment guidelines. Presepsin concentrations were measured on admission.
