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

Figure 3

The trend of islet cell antibody titers of the 13 patients with tests at two or more time points over time. Each line represents a single patient and the trend of a specific islet cell autoantibody over the first-year postacute pancreatitis. (a) GADA titers over first-year postacute pancreatitis. (b) IA-2A titers over first-year postacute pancreatitis. (c) ZnT8A titers over first-year postacute pancreatitis. (d) IAA titers over first-year postacute pancreatitis. The dark horizontal line in each panel represents what is considered a positive result (above line) and negative result (below line). Eleven of the thirteen patients (86%) stayed negative, 1/13 (7%) stayed positive, and 1/13 (7%) switched from positive to negative.
