The Diagnostic Value of the Prostigmin Test in Chronic Pancreatopathies

“…In epidemic hepatitis, the levels of serum diastase arc often increased, in hepatic coma decreased [14]. De creased values are reported for diabetes mellitus [4], increased levels in cases of peptic ulcer with closed perforation into the pancreas [1].…”

“…Heinsen [4] reports 70-140 mg/100 ml as the normal variations of the serum di astase in the prostigmin test. Only rarely did lie observe a continuous rise of the serum diastase levels after the administration of prostigmin.…”

“…In liver disorders some authors noted pathological prostigmin test curves [4]. In epidemic hepatitis, the levels of serum diastase arc often increased, in hepatic coma decreased [14].…”

“…Simko, èimoncic, The Diagnostic Value Serial investigation of the diastase activity in the urine after prostigmin [2,5] is technically easier, for the diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis it has, however, only very limited value [4], Far more valuable for routine purposes is the abridged prostigmin test as suggested by Lutz [8], whereby one fasting blood sample and one sample 30 minutes after prostigmin administration are examined for diastase ac tivity.…”
