This study of 1470 acute pancreatitis (AP) patients found the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) positively correlated with acute kidney injury (AKI) occurrence and AP severity. Results also indicated that AIP linearly predicted AKI and severe AP, independent of confounders. AIP showed moderate predictive ability. This study suggests AIP's potential for AKI risk assessment and severity prediction in AP, though further validation is needed.
