Primary endpoint
The development of pancreatitis after the procedure according to consensus criteria
Before performing ERCP, baseline serum amylase and lipase levels will be measured in all patients. After twenty four ( 24) hours post ERCP procedure, patients' serum amylase and lipase levels will be measured.
The change in the serum levels of Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and Interleukin-10 (IL-10 )before and after ERCP procedure
Biomarkers will be measured at baseline before the ERCP procedure and twenty four (24 ) hours after the procedure
