Fluorescein dilaurate test of exocrine pancreatic function in cystic fibrosis.
نویسنده
چکیده
The fluorescein dilaurate test, a non-invasive test of exocrine pancreatic function, was carried out on 21 children with cystic fibrosis and pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, and 12 healthy siblings. The test clearly discriminated between the patients with cystic fibrosis and severe exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and the normal control subjects.

In the fluorescein dilaurate test fluorescein dilaurate is cleaved by the pancreas specific cholesterol ester hydrolase activity and the liberated fluorescein is absorbed and excreted in the urine. Fluorescein recovery is a reflection of exocrine pancreatic function. The test was evaluated in 14 patients with cystic fibrosis and 16 healthy volunteers. The test was well tolerated by patients, wa...
متن کاملDual marker one day pancreolauryl test.
There is a pressing need for a simple non-invasive test of exocrine pancreatic function for use in children. The pancreolauryl test has been modified by the addition of a second marker (mannitol) to achieve a single day test without the need for two timed urine collections. Six healthy subjects and nine patients with cystic fibrosis were studied. Fluorescein, fluorescein dilaurate, and mannitol...
