The serum uPAR measurements were conducted using the ELISA and until now, uPAR measurements by various methods are not standardized. Despite promising preliminary results, there is no possibility to draw definitive conclusions as for wider uPAR application in SAP prediction. Further studies on a larger group of patients \(especially those with SAP\) are needed. Meanwhile, however, it must be said that serum uPAR measured in the early phase of the disease does not outperform the routinely conducted and widely acknowledged laboratory tests such as CRP, PCT, or D\-dimers in the prediction of the severe course of AP ."]
