Reference Range:
Effective August 15, 2011 Expected Cathodic Trypsinogen Concentration Values for the Varied Disease States Healthy Individuals 10.0-57.0 ng/mL Chronic Pancreatitis 46.0 ng/mL or less Acute Pancreatitis 92.0-850.0 ng/mL Total Pancreatectomy 1.4 ng/mL or less
Interpretive Data:
Results should be correlated with clinical presentation and other diagnostic data for the diagnosis of pancreatitis.
Test Limitations:
The assayable species by this method has been shown to be cathodic trypsinogen. The expression of analytical data as trypsin equivalent concentration is used by most laboratories.
