[Evaluation of the Lundh test in the diagnosis of exocrine pancreas insufficiency].
The results of 611 Lundh-tests performed on 546 patients over a period of 4 1/2 years have been evaluated. The test was highly reliable in the diagnosis of exocrine pancreatic deficiency. False-normal results were seen in 2.04% and false-abnormal in 3%. The test does not differentiate between chronic pancreatitis and carcinoma. Extrapancreatic factors depressing duodenal tryptic activity are discussed.
