High Rate of Islets Autoimmunity in Pediatric Patients with Index Admission of Acute Pancreatitis

Figure 2

The proportion of patients who were positive for islet cell autoantibodies is displayed. Twenty-one percent were positive for at least one islet cell autoantibody, and 7% were positive for two islet cell autoantibodies. Twenty-three out of 68 (34%) of patients were positive at baseline. Twenty-one of those 23 patients who were positive at baseline did not have islet cell autoantibodies measured at 3 or 12 m. One of the 16 patients was positive for at least one islet cell autoantibody at 3 months and one of the 14 patients was positive for at least one islet cell autoantibody at 12 months.
