Chronic pancreatitis (CP) may be difficult to diagnose in early stages. We aimed to measure pancreatic juice (PJ) prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) concentrations to determine whether they are elevated in CP and improve diagnosis of early disease.
We measured PJ PGE2 in 10 patients with established CP, 25 patients who met criteria for "minimal change" chronic pancreatitis (MCCP), and 10 normal control participants.
Median PJ PGE2 was elevated in CP (307 pg/ml, IQR (249-362)) and MCCP (568 pg/ml, (418-854)) compared with normal controls (104 pg/ml, (68-206)) (P≤ 0.001). Area under receiving operator curve (AUROC) for diagnosis of CP and MCCP was 0.9 and 0.62, respectively, for PJ bicarbonate concentration alone; AUROC was 1.0 and 0.94 for the combination of PJ bicarbonate and PGE2 concentrations.
PJ PGE2 appears to be a biomarker for CP and is elevated in both established and "minimal change" chronic pancreatitis.
慢性胰腺炎(CP)在早期可能难以诊断。我们旨在测量胰液(PJ)中前列腺素E2(PGE2)的浓度,以确定其在CP中是否升高,并改善早期疾病的诊断。
我们测量了10例确诊为CP的患者、25例符合“微小变化”慢性胰腺炎(MCCP)标准的患者以及10名正常对照者的PJ PGE2。
与正常对照者(104 pg/ml,(68 - 206))相比,CP患者(307 pg/ml,IQR(249 - 362))和MCCP患者(568 pg/ml,(418 - 854))的PJ PGE2中位数升高(P≤0.001)。仅PJ碳酸氢盐浓度用于诊断CP和MCCP的受试者工作特征曲线下面积(AUROC)分别为0.9和0.62;PJ碳酸氢盐和PGE2浓度联合检测的AUROC分别为1.0和0.94。
PJ PGE2似乎是CP的一种生物标志物,在确诊的和“微小变化”的慢性胰腺炎中均升高。
