30 patients, 1 to 6 years acute pancreatitis, complaining on epigastric pains, weight loss, flatulence and diarrhea were examined. Temmler Werke Pancreolauryl-Test was performed following manufacturer's instructions. In 14 patients (46.7%), the result of the test revealed pancreatic exocrine failure. Those results were verified and confirmed in 80% by secretin-ceorulein test. Non-invasive, technically uncomplicated and reliable pancreolauryl-test seems to be useful for screen estimation of pancreatic exocrine function impairment in patients after the acute pancreatitis.
