急性胰腺炎（ AP）是一种常见急腹症，可分为轻度AP（ MAP）、中度AP（ MSAP）和重度AP（ SAP）。MAP、MSAP多具有自限性，预后良好，而SAP常伴有诸多局部和（或）系统性并发症，死亡率高。因此，及早判断AP严重程度对临床诊治具有重要意义。降钙素原（ PCT）是降钙素的前肽物质，作为一种炎症介质可用于鉴别细菌性与非细菌性感染。近年来，PCT在AP中的作用越来越受到医学界的关注，本文就PCT与AP的研究进展作一综述。

Acute pancreatitis( AP)is a common gastrointestinal emergency,which comprises mild acute pancreatitis ( MAP),moderately severe acute pancreatitis( MSAP)and severe acute pancreatitis( SAP). Most patients with MAP and MSAP present as a mild,self-limiting disease with low morbidity and mortality,however,patients who suffer from SAP will experience serious local and/or systemic complications associated with high mortality. Therefore,early assessment of disease severity is important for clinical management. Procalcitonin( PCT),a pro-peptide of calcitonin,is an inflammatory mediator that can be used to differentiate bacterial and non-bacterial infection. Recently,the effect of PCT on AP has attracted more and more attentions. This article reviewed the advances in studies on PCT and AP.
