title: [Comparison of 2 methemalbumin measurements and of free hemoglobin in view of their value in the differential diagnosis of edematous and hemorrhagic pancreatitis].
abstract: Methemalbumin was estimated by means of electrophoresis and the method of Walberg, respectively in 59 patients (25 pat. with edematous, 34 patients with hemorrhagic pancreatitis) partially over three days. In addition the estimation of free hemoglobin in ascites has been carried out. By both approaches of methemalbumin estimation there was no differentiation of the two pancreatitis forms possible. Though the method of Walberg was much more sensitive especially in the serum its specificity was correspondingly lower. The tendency to a correlation of the methemalbumin-concentration to the severity of the course of the disease could be observed. Such a correlation has been proved statistically for the free hemoglobin.
