Zusammenfassung
The consequences of the exocrine pancreatic insufficiency are well-known in pancreatic diabetes (DM). Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of low stool elastase activity in type-1 and type-2 DM patients (pts). The metabolic parameters and the chronic complications were evaluated in pts with normal and abnormal exocrine function and the effects of enzyme substitution were analysed. Patients and Methods: Stool elastase of 146 pts with non-pancreatic DM was measured by ELISA. Autonomic neuropathy (AN), peripheral sensory function, retinopathy, HbA1c, BMI, microalbuminuria (MAU), quality of life…
