title: Pancreatic disease in dyspepsia.
abstract: Determination of the serum activity of pancreatic isoamylase was performed in 30-65-year-old men seeking primary health care centers for dyspepsia. Of 36 consecutive patients 7 had abnormal pancreatic isoamylase activity in serum. This figure indicates dyspepsia to be commonly associated with pancreatic disease such as chronic pancreatitis.
