Pancreatic Elastase (Faeces)

Accredited Facility E-report Qualified Specialists

This test is done to measure elastase, an enzyme produced by the pancreas that helps digest food. Because it remains stable during intestinal transit, it is a reliable marker of pancreatic exocrine function. Low levels may indicate pancreatic insufficiency, where the pancreas does not produce enough digestive enzymes.

  • If there is chronic diarrhea or fatty stools.
  • If malabsorption or nutrient deficiencies are suspected.
  • If chronic pancreatitis is suspected.
  • If a healthcare provider is evaluating pancreatic digestive function.
  • No fasting is required.
  • No special diet is usually needed.
  • Avoid watery stool dilution if possible for accurate results.
  • Follow stool collection instructions provided by the laboratory or healthcare provider.
