We have made an analysis of correlation between Secretin Test and Retrograde pancreatography in 25 patients. Using Secretin Test, in these comparative evaluation we confirmed the predictive values of normality or pathological alteration of the gland obtained through functional exploration of the pancreon. In consequence it's correct to use this test as a first mean of establishing the presence of pancreatic pathologies.
