[Chronic pancreatitis: sensitivity, specificity and predictive value of the pancreolauryl test].
Assessment of the clinical value of the pancreolauryl test (PLT) in the literature range from "useless" to a specifity of 95% and a sensitivity of 98%. In this work, our own data are presented in relation to various reference methods. The results are derived from the largest collective investigated to data, comprising 40 controls and 391 patients (108 with chronic pancreatitis and 283 with other gastrointestinal disorders). The specifity of the the PLT varies between 81% and 95% according to the "quality" of the control collective. The PLT is particularly frequently pathological in patients with diseases in the region of the gallbladder/bile duct and the gastrointestinal tract. The sensitivity of the PLT for chronic pancreatitis varies between 68% and 100%, depending on 9 different reference methods employed. Based on the prevalence of chronic pancreatitis with exocrine insufficiency in various patient collectives, the predictive value of the PLT for the presence of this disorder can be calculated using our data.
