Abstract

Exocrine pancreatic involvement of primary Sj6gren's syndrome (SS) was studied. Pancreatic enzyme levels (total amylase, pancreatic isoamylase and immunoreactive trypsin) along with anti-ductuli antibodies (Ab) were studied in 77 patients with primary SS. In 10 patients with normal and 10 with abnormal enzyme levels pancreatic CT scans were also obtained.
