| 1 | OBJECTIVES: Evaluate the usefulness of fecal elastase 1 for the indication of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency among former alcohol addicts and patients with chronic pancreatitis. | Alcohols | chymotrypsin like elastase 3B | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | RESULTS: The levels of fecal elastase 1 were significantly lower in the patients than in the former alcohol addicts and in the group with tissue calcifications, duct alterations, or atrophy. | Alcohols | chymotrypsin like elastase 3B | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | CONCLUSION: Low level of fecal elastase 1 was associated with marked rather than mild chronic pancreatitis; however, it may be useful to indicate pancreatic exocrine insufficiency in asymptomatic former alcohol addicts. | Alcohols | chymotrypsin like elastase 3B | Homo sapiens |
