[Exocrine pancreatic function in chronic alcoholics in Austria (author's transl)]. 1977

H Pointner, and U Flegel, and P M Bayer, and H Czembirek, and K Kryspin-Exner

97 chronic alcoholic patients were investigated with regard to exocrine pancreatic function. Chronic calcifying pancreatitis was radiologically established in 7.2% of the cases. Secretin-pancreozymin tests were performed in 30 patients. Pancreatic insufficiency was found in 8 patients, while 8 patients showed marked hypersection. The daily faecal fat excretion in 10 other patients with partial gastrectomy and Billroth II operation was 5.3 g. Pancreatic disorders were, thus, detected in 53.2% cases of chronic alcoholism. This is higher than expected for Austria.
