dc.description.abstract | Fecal pancreatic elastase-1 assays were performed in 56 patients attending medical and gastroenterology clinics with complaints of chronic or recurrent upper abdominal pains. Some of the patients already had confirmed diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis. The levels showed good correlation with these findings; they also enabled a firm diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis to be made in several cases. | en_US |
