Actim Pancreatitis rapid test is an up-to-date method for ensuring the right diagnosis for your patient - quickly and reliably. Actim Pancreatitis uses a unique biomarker trypsinogen-2 - the most accurate biomarker for both detecting and ruling out acute pancreatitis.
Acute pancreatitis (AP)
Serious inflammation of the pancreas with rapid onset
Symptoms often unspecific: severe upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, fever, chills
20-30 % of cases may lead to serious complications such as pancreatic necrosis, organ damage or sepsis
AP is a life threatening condition, mortality rate as high as 40 %
Speed is vital when acute pancreatitis strikes
Specific and sensitive Actim Pancreatitis urine dipstick test can rule out acute pancreatitis with 99 % certainty in just 5 minutes - no need for unnecessary expensive CT scans
Treatment of acute pancreatitis is more likely to succeed if initiated early and patients with other conditions can be correctly diagnosed sooner
Traditional amylase and lipase tests are usually performed with analyzers in a laboratory, and thus take considerably longer
