how do you assess ductal/secretory capacity

A

combined secretin/cck

35
Q

CCK test
what sec by….
stimulate release…..and sec of
direct determ of….

panc obsrtuction:

low bicarb/enzymes:

A

hormone sec by cells in stomach
stimulate release of bile into enzymes and sec of enzymes by the pancrease

direct determ of exocrine sec capacity of pancreas

Panc obstruct: dec flow inc enzymes

low bicarb,enzmes: CF, chronic pan edema

36
