Summary

The pancreolauryl test was performed in 30 subjects with chronic pancreatitis, in order to evaluate its behavior in relation to the duration of the clinical history and the presence of pancreatic calcifications, diabetes mellitus, jaundice, and pancreatic pseudocysts.

A significant inverse linear correlation was found between the onset of symptoms and FDL test values. While calcifications and diabetes were present in patients with both normal and abnormal test results, those with pseudocysts or jaundice always had pathological results.
