What Does PAP Stand For?
PAP stands for Pancreatitis Associated Protein
PAP, or Pancreatitis Associated Protein, is a protein that is primarily associated with acute and chronic pancreatitis. It is involved in the inflammatory response and may serve as a biomarker for pancreatic disease. Elevations in PAP levels can indicate pancreatic dysfunction, making it a significant focus for diagnosis and management in patients with pancreatic conditions.
