Alpha 1-antitrypsin and total trypsin-inhibitor capacity in acute pancreatitis
Annales Chirurgiae Et Gynaecologiae
|January 1, 1979
Abstract:
Twenty three patients with acute pancreatitis were studied to assess the serum alpha 1-antitrypsin levels as well as the total trypsin-inhibitor capacity. These parameters were found to be normal or increased, which is not the case with patients with chronic pancreatitis. The value of protease-inhibitor treatment in acute pancreatitis is doubted.
