Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP) is new onset acute pancreatitis after ERCP. This complication is sometimes fatal. As such, PEP should be diagnosed early so that therapeutic interventions can be carried out. Serum lipase (s-Lip) is useful for diagnosing acute pancreatitis. However, its usefulness for diagnosing PEP has not been sufficiently investigated.
