The concentration of pancreatic elastase-1 in stool of patients was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Studies were performed before and after treatment. The study revealed a positive effect of the combined therapy with the inclusion of low-intensity laser therapy on the exocrine function of the pancreas in patients with chronic pancreatitis.
