Pancreatic autoantibodies (PABs) are found in 31% of patients with Crohn's disease (CD), but they do not correlate with the activity of intestinal disease or the incidence of acute pancreatitis. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency has been observed in patients with CD.
In a follow up study 19 patients after Billroth-I, 22 patients after Billroth-II-resection and 38 patients after total gastrectomy (23 with Roux-Y-reconstruction and 15 with Longmire-Gütgemann) underwent a stool fat determination and an indirect pancreatic function test with fluorescein dilaurate
The serum pancreolauryl test has limited sensitivity for detecting mild pancreatic insufficiency. The aim of this study was to optimize the serum pancreolauryl test so as to increase the probability of positive results in patients with chronic pancreatitis. The study

To audit the specificity and value of the pancreolauryl test (PLT) for the diagnosis of pancreatic insufficiency. A retrospective case note review of 47 patients who had a PLT during three consecutive years. A 650 bedded district general hospital. Patient
Pancreatic function tests are most commonly used to diagnose chronic pancreatitis. These tests include tests which document exocrine or endocrine gland insufficiency and tests which instead measure gradations of decreased secretory capacity. The tests in the former category generally become
