Abstract | BACKGROUND: The assessment of severe pancreatic insufficiency in cystic fibrosis (CF) is not a diagnostic problem. However, identification of mild cases remains a challenge. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of serum lipase after secretin stimulation to identify mild pancreatic insufficiency in patients with CF. |
