  • Title: Hydrocarbon exposure, pancreatitis, and bile acids.
    Author: Hotz P, Pilliod J, Bourgeois R, Boillat MA.
    Journal: Br J Ind Med; 1990 Dec; 47(12):833-7. PubMed ID: 2271391.
    Abstract:
    The data on hydrocarbon induced pancreatitis are conflicting. This question was therefore studied in a non-selected population exposed to hydrocarbons and in "formerly" exposed workers. Neither the past clinical history nor the pancreatic tests provided any evidence for a causal relation between exposure and pancreatitis. No signs of hydrocarbon induced liver damage were seen either. As a healthy worker effect cannot be totally excluded, however, a case-control study in a group of patients suffering from non-alcohol induced pancreatitis could give useful indications for finally excluding the possibility of pancreatitis being induced by hydrocarbons.
