[Determination of lactoferrin in the diagnosis of diseases of the pancreas].
In 29 patients with chronic pancreatitis, 15 patients with malignant tumours of the pancreas and in 30 controls lactoferrin in fluid aspirated from the duodenum was assessed during the cholecystokinin-secretin (CCK-S) test. As compared with the control group, its concentration is significantly higher in patients with chronic pancreatitis, but not in patients with malignant tumours of the pancreas. It is probable that estimation of lactoferrin in the CCK-S test may prove helpful in the differential diagnosis of pancreatic disease.
