Objective: To evaluate whether hypoalbuminemia is a predictor of severe acute pancreatitis. Material and method: An analytical, observational, retrospective cohort study was conducted, in which 152 clinical histories of patients with a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis were included, according to the selection criteria they were divided according to the presence or not of severity, it was calculated with the Chi-square statistical test and the relative risk statistic. All the clinical histories included in the research contained the inclusion criteria and belonged to the Gastroenterology service of the Hospital Regional Docente de Trujillo (Regional Teaching Hospital of Trujillo). Results: In a total of 152 patients, the frequency of severity in patients with acute pancreatitis and hypoalbuminemia was 33%; in addition, the frequency of severity in patients with acute pancreatitis without hypoalbuminemia was 1%. It was determined that hypoalbuminemia is a predictor of severity in patients with acute pancreatitis (RR: 25, 95% CI 3.6-45.4, p <0.05). Likewise, within the general characteristics of patients with acute pancreatitis, it was determined that the condition of advanced age (OR 31.4, 95% CI 2.5-54.7, p = 0.022), diabetes mellitus (OR: 31.4, 95% CI 1.6-15. 8, p = 0.027), elevated C reactive protein (OR: 3.89, 95% CI 1.5-7.6, p = 0.016) and hemoconcentration (OR: 147, 95% CI 4- 213.1, p = 0.001), were significantly relevant in the group of patients with severe acute pancreatitis. Conclusion: Hypoalbuminemia is a predictor of severe acute pancreatitis.
