Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin, Macrophage Inhibitory Cytokine 1, and Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 in Pancreatic Juice

Pancreatic diseases pose significant diagnostic challenge as signs and symptoms often overlap. We investigated the potential of pancreatic juice neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, macrophage inhibitory cytokine 1 (MIC-1), and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) to aid in the diagnosis of patients with symptoms suggestive of pancreatic diseases.
