Using blood tests to find infections in pancreatitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial uses a blood test to look for infection in people with a severe type of pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). The goal is to see if the test can find infections faster and more accurately than current methods.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a severe form of pancreatitis called acute necrotizing pancreatitis.
- You are at least 14 years old.
- You are able to give written permission to be in the trial.
- You have not already had a procedure like a drain placed or surgery to remove dead tissue for this condition.
- You do not have any confirmed infections elsewhere in your body, like in your lungs or urinary tract.
- You are not pregnant.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial collects blood samples from people with infected pancreatic necrosis to find patterns that help diagnose the condition. The goal is to reduce the need for invasive tests and start treatment faster.
This trial looks at whether routine blood test results can help doctors predict how severe acute pancreatitis will be and how well patients may recover. It aims to find simple, early clues to guide treatment.
This trial tests whether using blood “filters” plus high-volume fluid filtration can improve outcomes in adults with acute pancreatitis without infection. It aims to remove inflammatory substances from the blood early, while ensuring you’re stable enough for several hours of treatment.
This study looks at specific blood “immune” signatures and how they relate to outcomes in people with acute pancreatitis. If you enroll early, it may help doctors better predict how the illness will go and identify who might need more care.
This study looks at whether a blood test that combines a type of white blood cell (neutrophil) and a kidney measure (creatinine) can help predict how severe acute pancreatitis is and what the outcome might be for patients.
This trial looks at how severe acute pancreatitis works by using advanced tests on your body's germs, chemicals, and proteins. It may help find better ways to treat patients with this condition.
