Table 2 Prediction of severe acute pancreatitis in the Ringer’s solution and normal saline groups n (%)

	1-RL	2-NS	P value
BISAP ≥ 3	8 (20.0)	8 (12.7)	0.405
uNGAL ≥ 73 ng/mL	15 (37.5)	11 (17.5)	0.035

The 1-Ringer’s solution (1-RL) group with standard fluid resuscitation with lactated Ringer’s 1000 mL solution; The 2-normal saline (2-NS) group with standard fluid resuscitation with 1000 mL normal saline. BISAP: Bedside index of severity in acute pancreatitis; uNGAL: Urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin.
