Elevated interleukin‐8 in pancreatic fluid of pediatric patients with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency
This is the first study to measure IL-8 levels in pancreatic fluid of a large cohort of pediatric EPI patients. The elevated IL-8 levels suggest its potential role as an inflammatory mediator in pediatric EPI. Furthermore, these findings open avenues for investigating other inflammatory factors that may contribute to EPI development.
