title: [Pancreatic exocrine secretion in patients with cirrhosis of the liver (author's transl)].
abstract: The exocrine function of the pancreas was studied with the aid of the pancreozymin-secretin-test in 30 patients with ethanolic and 10 patients with nonalcoholic cirrhosis of the liver as well as 30 healthy subjects. It was established that the changes of the pancreatic secretion in cirrhosis of the liver are characterized by elevated output of water and bicarbonate, diminished bicarbonate concentration without substantial changes in enzyme secretion. In alcoholic cirrhosis, these changes are more frequent, but they do not differ from those observed in cirrhosis of other etiology.
