Zusammenfassung
Although the impairment of pancreatic exocrine function in patients (pts) with non-pancreatic diabetes (DM) is documented, its incidence and consequences are not clearly known. The aim of our study was to estimate the frequency and consequences of altered pancreatic function in pts with type 1 or 2 DM. Pts and methods: Stool elastase activity of 112 pts with non-pancreatic DM was measured. Pts were divided into two groups with normal or decreased elastase. Autonomic neuropathy (AN), peripheral sensory function, retinopathy, HbA1c, BMI, microalbumin excretion (MAU) were measured, the quality of life (QoL) was ass…
