Faecal pancreatic elastase is a marker of decreased pancreatic function resulting from any pancreatic dysfunction (inflammation, tumour, diabetes, removal). It is not affected by pancreatic enzyme replacement.<\/p>\n

This test measures the amount of elastase 1 enzyme produced by the pancreas in a stool sample, and can be used to diagnose pancreatic diseases with insufficient digestive enzyme production. Pancreatic elastase 1 passes through the digestive tract intact, allowing painless enzyme levels to be determined in the stool.<\/p>\n

The content of level 1 faecal pancreatic elastase can already detect mild pancreatic insufficiency.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

How do I prepare for the test?<\/h2>\n\t

It is important to note that diarrheal stools are not suitable for testing and sampling should not take place during menstruation! The sample must be taken using a special sampling device, which can be requested at the reception of our Clinics<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
