The goal of this observational study is to learn about the biomarkers and mechanisms of severe acute pancreatitis in 30 healthy controls, 30 patients of mild acute pancreatitis, 30 patients of moderately severe acute pancreatitis, and 86 patients of severe acute pancreatitis. The main question it aims to answer are: • The relationship between changes in gut microbiota and clinical prognosis (plasma inflammatory cytokines, incidence and duration of infection in various parts, mortality rate), and the screening and validation of biomarkers that can be used for early prediction of disease severity. • Analyze the relationship between changes in blood composition and clinical prognosis (plasma inflammatory cytokines, incidence and duration of infection in various parts, mortality rate), screen and verify biomarkers that can be used for early prediction of disease severity. Blood and fecal samples from the healthy control group and diagnosed patients will be collected.

Composition of gut microbiota
The gut microbiota plays an important role in protecting the intestinal barrier, regulating metabolism, and participating in immune responses in the human body, and is an important component of the gut ecosystem.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Composition of gut metabolites
Metabolites can reveal the intrinsic correlation between metabolic products and physiological and pathological changes in the body, thereby achieving recognition of the overall state of the body.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Composition of metabolites in plasma
