medicine | in chronic pancreatitis, renalase immunoreactivity localizes to peri-acinar spindle-shaped cells in some samples and is also widely present in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma precursor lesions and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma tissue. Among 240 patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, elevated plasma renalase levels are associated with worse tumor characteristics, including greater angiolymphatic invasion and greater node positive disease. Overall survival is worse in patients with high plasma renalase levels. Renalase levels also predict whether patients with locally advanced/borderline resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma undergo resection | Homo sapiens |
