ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The pathophysiology of Acute Pancreatitis (AP) may be complicated by endothelial activation. von Willebrand Factor (vWF)- ADAMTS13 axis is a marker of endothelial activation. The study aimed to investigate the axis in AP, comparing it in patients with and without persistent organ failure (OF), with and without pancreatic necrosis, and correlating it with the standard severity scores (CRP, APACHE II, BISAP, SOFA, and qSOFA)METHODS:
vWF-Antigen (vWFAg), vWF-Collagen-Binding-Assay (vWFCBA), and ADAMTS13 activity (ADAMTS13act) levels were measured within 5 days of symptom onset in consecutive patients (n = 98), who were admitted with a first episode of AP (Dec 2021-May 2023).RESULTS:
Of the 98 patients admitted with AP, 78(79.6 %) had no or transient OF; 20(20.4 %) had persistent OF. Age was comparable (43.73 ± 15.36 vs 38.65 ± 13.69) [mean ± SD](years), and males were predominant in both groups (70.5 % vs 80 %). Patientswith persistent OF had higher vWFCBA(%)[323(279-486.5) vs 199.5(159.1-295.75)] and lower ADAMTS13act(%)[35.4(23.8-56.85) vs 56.35(44.1-71.9)][median (25th - 75th percentile)](P = 0.001) than those with no or transient OF. Patients with pancreatic necrosis (n = 19) had lower ADAMTS13act(%)[42.79 ± 18.69] than those without pancreatic necrosis (n = 18) [62.49 ± 22.64] (P < 0.01). ADAMTS13act had a negative correlation(r = -0.2), whereas vWFAg and vWFCBA had a positive correlation (r = 0.2) with the standard severity scores (P < 0.05). ADAMTS13act could predict pancreatic necrosis [AUROC-0.737, P < 0.05] and persistent OF [AUROC-0.746, P < 0.001], while vWFCBA could predict persistent OF [AUROC- 0.73, P < 0.001].CONCLUSION:
vWF-ADAMTS13 axis helps to predict severe disease and is associated with poor outcomes in acute pancreatitis.
