Current advice is that patients with a severe attack of acute pancreatitis should undergo an intravenous contrast-enhanced (dynamic) computed tomography between 3 and 10 days after admission for the assessment of the degree of pancreatic necrosis and surrounding peripancreatic and intra-abdominal fluid collections [36]. The use of the acute-phase protein CRP has been validated by choosing the proper validated cut-off (1120 mg/l) and it is reported to accurately indicate the presence of pancreatic necrosis in up to 90% [13].
