B Background: b Is difficult to establish whether acute cholangitis (AC) co-exists as an independent entity with acute necrotising pancreatitis (ANP) owing to overlaping of laboratory liver test results and systemic inflammatory response between entities. B Conclusion: b In our series, ANP with acute cholangitis defined by TG13 is associated with poor outcomes, including necrosis infection. [Extracted from the article]

B Background: b Abnormal liver enzyme tests (LET) are frequent in acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP), and not always related to persistent common bile duct stones (CBDS). B Results: b Neither abnormal LET on admission or its raised values at 24h showed accuracy in predicting CBDS (AUC values under 0.5), nor did the association of the 3 abnormal LET (AUC=0.66; 0.51-0.82). However, dilated CBD on US showed good accuracy for predicting CBDS (AUC=0.75; 0.58-0.91). [Extracted from the article]
