Elastase is an enzyme produced by the exocrine tissue in the pancreas. Measuring elastase levels helps to evaluate the functioning of the pancreas. This test measures the level of elastase in your stool.

Elastase is a digestive enzyme formed in the pancreas and excreted into the small intestine. Its measurement provides information about the production of digestive enzymes in the pancreas.

Since the pancreatic elastase is excreted unchangedely with stool, it is diagnostically well suited for the assessment of the exocrine pancreatic function. Decreased elastase concentration in stool indicates exocrine disruption of the organ such as chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic insufficiency or cystic fibrosis.

The test analyzes the values of the following analytes:

Pancreatic elastase

Our Pancreatic Elastase Test gives you information about your exocrine pancreatic function to determine a predominant exocrine disruption of the organ.

We will post you the stool test kit with full instructions.
