Utility of a noninvasive urine‐based test for diagnosing acute pancreatitis in children
The UTDT demonstrates promise as a rapid, noninvasive diagnostic tool for pediatric AP, particularly when used early in the disease course. Its high specificity and ease of use suggest that it may serve as an alternative to invasive blood tests once validated through larger-scale studies. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and establish the role of UTDT in clinical practice.
