“…The presence and severity of pain was assessed using the modified Huskisson pain scale [3]. Exocrine pancreatic function was measured by fecal chymotrypsin (FC) photometric assay [4] and the pancreolauryl (PL) test [5]. Function was deemed severely reduced when both tests were below the considered lower normal limits (FC < 6.7 U/g, PL test-day/control-day ratio < 20), mildly reduced when one test was below the lower normal limits and the other or both were just above (FC 6.7-20.0; PL 20-30), normal when one or both of the tests were largely above normal (FC > 20 U/g, PL > 30).…”

We attempted to evaluate the quality of life of patients with proved long-lasting chronic pancreatitis. We measured the clinical and psychological status of 60 patients who had undergone various surgical treatments for their disease. The presence and severity of depression and other symptoms of distress were assessed, as were disease-specific functional and physical problems. Few patients had serious conditions, such as pain, malnutrition, or psychoneurotic complaints. The relation between depression and the time of onset of symptoms and of surgery appeared doubtful, and no statistically significant correlations were found between severity of emotional disturbance and other functional characteristics. Insulin-dependent diabetes and correlated diseases had the most negative influence on everyday well-being. Postoperative follow-up and the need for recurrent medical control and care did not lead to negative feelings.

“…However, the diagnosis of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in patients with severe steatorrhea is not a clinical problem. In the subgroup of adult patients with chronic pancreatitis and severe steatorrhea (>15 g/day), Lankisch et al (58,59) demonstrated excellent sensitivity of most tests and suggested that the diagnosis could be even made visually (60). However, the study of Borowitz et al (61) challenged the common opinion often expressed at international congresses and in research papers that the subjective assessment of pancreatic insufficiency in CF is easy and obvious.…”

Although patients with chronic renal failure have a high incidence of chronic pancreatic disease, the condition is frequently overlooked. We have modified the pancreolauryl test--an indirect pancreatic function test--for anuric patients. The test permitted good discrimination between patients with chronic pancreatic disease and those with a normal pancreas when serum levels of fluorescein were measured 10 h after administration with a standard meal. The sensitivity at this time interval was 80% and the specificity 83%. We conclude that the pancreolauryl test with serum measurements provides a simple, noninvasive, and reliable diagnostic test for chronic pancreatic disease in anuric patients with chronic renal failure.
