This comprehensive, state-of-the-art survey of the various types of pancreatic disorders amenable to clinical laboratory tests reviews in detail how these tests are used for the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of patients. The diseases covered in depth range from endocrine, neoplastic, and exocrine disorders to inflammatory and chronic disorders, and include diabetes, the digestive disturbances associated with pancreatic insufficiency, and current trends in pancreas transplantation. The laboratory tests detailed for each disorder have been chosen for their sensitivity and specificity; many are also excellent for monitoring the efficacy of treatment.
