Disialotransferrin, determined by capillary electrophoresis, is an accurate biomarker for alcoholic cause of acute pancreatitis.
Serum disialotransferrin is a specific marker of heavy alcohol consumption. We tested its accuracy and probability in detecting alcoholic cause of acute pancreatitis (AP). ⋯ Disialotransferrin, determined by capillary electrophoresis, is accurate, simple, and a rapid single biomarker of the alcoholic cause of AP.
