Serum immunoreactive trypsin in cystic fibrosis.

Immuno-reactive trypsin (IR-TRY) level has been measured by RIA in 185 patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) aged between 4 days and 34 years. The correlation of IR-TRY values with age and functional state of pancreas have been studied. The interpretation of the data have been put forward on the basis of possibilities of neonatal screening.

Glycosidases in serum of cystic fibrosis patients.

In a study of eight glycosidases in serum samples from 72 cystic fibrosis patients, 85 cystic fibrosis parents and 34 healthy and diseased controls, significant elevations of mean alpha-glucosidase levels were found in cystic fibrosis patients. All other glycosidases did not show any significant change. Mean alpha-glucosidase levels in obligate heterozygotes were the same as in control individuals. Moreover, alpha-glucosidase levels in cystic fibrosis patients correlated with the degree of clinical impairment as measured by the Schwachman score.
