Indiana University
Summary
The goal of this study is to learn if urine trypsinogen can be used to diagnose post-pancreatectomy acute pancreatitis in patients undergoing pancreatectomy. Participants will have their urine measured by dipsticks during and after their surgery.
Description
Patients will be identified utilizing preoperative scheduling and clinic visits. Patients undergoing any pancreatectomy (such as: pancreatoduodenectomy, distal pancreatectomy, duodenal preserving pancreatic head resection) will be identified. These patients will be educated about possible enrollment in the prospective study in the preoperative clinic or in the surgery preoperative area. If enrolled, these patients will receive the standard of care postoperative laboratory tests. These include, but are not limited to, postoperative serum amylase, drain amylase, complete blood counts, and comple…
