Research Abstract |
We demonstrated that in patients receiving ASNase therapy, the serum trypsin and pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor levels are usually elevated due to subclinical pancreatitis induced by the treatment. Futher, the mechanism of ASNase-induced pancreatic injury may involve an imbalance of the protease-antiprotease, such as, α1-antitrypsin, α2-macroglobulin. The present result also suggested that ASNase treatment with octreotide appears useful in prevent this complication in recovering patients.
