Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: The main objective of the trial is to investigate the effect of lactated Ringer solution compared to normal saline on the severity and safety of acute pancreatitis. The main efficacy endpoint is the frequency of moderately severe to severe acute pancreatitis according to the revision of the Atlanta classification. The main safety endpoint is a compound variable: fluid overload or acute kidney injury or hyperkalemia or hypercalcemia or acidosis.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of the trial are to investigate the effect of lactated Ringer solution compared to normal saline on the secondary efficacy and safety endpoints.;Primary end point(s): The primary outcome will be moderately severe to severe AP, according to the RAC. (Atlanta classification) within the first 30 days after randomization.
Secondary Outcome Measures
