Chronic Asymptomatic Pancreatic Hyperenzymemia: A Long-term Follow-up.

abstract：:High-quality and well-annotated biorepositories are needed to better understand the pathophysiology and biologic mechanisms of chronic pancreatitis (CP) and its consequences. We report a methodology for the development of a robust standard operating procedure (SOP) for a biorepository based on the experience of the cl...
