Calcitonin was administered to 4 patients presenting with acute pancreatitis as well as to 6 patients presenting with postoperative pancreatitis. Prophylactic administration was performed in 3 cases consecutive to pancreatic interventions. Following calcitonin all patients showed considerable improvement of clinical course. Although 8 patients recuperated completely 2 patients died from independent complications. After prophylactic administration of calcitonin the postoperative course was uncomplicated without demonstrable increase in serum amylase. It is emphasized that only early case histories are reported; their verification will depend upon the results of a controlled survey presently being performed.
对4例急性胰腺炎患者和6例术后胰腺炎患者使用了降钙素。在3例胰腺手术后连续进行了预防性给药。使用降钙素后，所有患者的临床病程均有显著改善。虽然8例患者完全康复，但2例患者死于独立并发症。预防性使用降钙素后，术后病程无并发症，血清淀粉酶无明显升高。需要强调的是，这里仅报告了早期病例；其验证将取决于目前正在进行的对照研究结果。
