ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at whether a substance called trypsinogen found in urine can help doctors detect a condition known as post-pancreatectomy acute pancreatitis (PPAP) in patients who have had surgery to remove part or all of their pancreas. The goal is to see if measuring trypsinogen can make it easier to diagnose this condition early, which can help with treatment.

To participate in this study, you must be at least 18 years old and scheduled for elective surgery to remove part of your pancreas. Unfortunately, people who are younger than 18, pregnant women, or prisoners cannot participate. During the trial, your urine will be tested using dipsticks both during and after your surgery to check for trypsinogen levels. This study is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to improve care for patients undergoing this type of surgery by providing better tools for early diagnosis of complications.
