Abstract:
A rare case of exocrine pancreatic damage in a patient with Wegener's granulomatosis is reported. The pancreatic amino acid consumption test, a new tubeless technique, revealed exocrine pancreatic insufficiency before and after immunosuppressive therapy. The presence of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in this patient raises the possibility of pancreatic involvement in Wegener's granulomatosis.
