Abstract:
Lowered, normal or raised alpha1-antitrypsin levels were found in 81 patients with acute or chronic relapsing pancreatitis and pancreatic carcinoma. 51 patients with chronic pancreatitis did not have alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency. Thus, in contrast to other reports, alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency and chronic pancreatitis do not seem to be in common association.
