Pancreatic Elastase-1 Test

The Pancreatic Elastase-1 Test measures elastase enzyme levels in stool to evaluate pancreatic exocrine function. Low elastase indicates pancreatic insufficiency, which may result from chronic pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, or pancreatic cancer. By assessing enzyme activity in digestion, this test provides valuable insight into malabsorption, gastrointestinal symptoms, and overall digestive health.
