What is pancreatic insufficiency?
Pancreatic insufficiency refers to a diseased state where pancreatic cells do not produce adequate amounts of pancreatic enzymes. The pancreas plays an important role in digestion, metabolism, and absorption of fat, proteins, and carbohydrates. Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI) causes below-threshold level enzyme secretion by pancreatic cells.
What is Shwachman-Diamond syndrome?

- Consistent diarrhea and weight loss

Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers the Fecal Elastase Test in Indore to check pancreatic insufficiency. It refers to a medical condition in which the pancreas fails to produce an adequate amount of a crucial enzyme required for food digestion in the small intestine. This can help identify associated diseases like pancreatitis and cystic fibrosis.
Overview of Fecal Elastase Test
The Fecal Elastase Test is done to measure elastase levels in stool samples. Elastase is a pancreatic enzyme that plays a significant role in the digestion of carbohydrates, fat, and proteins. In normal individuals with healthy pancreas, this enzyme is functional and it is excreted with stool. In any case, low or no levels of this enzyme indicates pancreatic insufficiency. This could lead to serious health issues related to malabsorption of essential nutrients and further mal-nutrition.
Book a Fecal Elastase Test near you to identify potential pancreatic insufficiency and related health complications. Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers an accurate Fecal Elastase Test in Indore.
Why And When Is A Fecal Elastase Test Done?
A Fecal Elastase Test is done to measure the amount of elastase enzyme in a stool sample. An insufficient amount of elastase secretion is associated with inadequate nutrient absorption from food ingested.
A doctor may recommend the Fecal Elastase Test in the following cases:
- Abdominal pain and cramps
- Weight loss
- Malnutrition
- Foul smelling greasy stool
- Delayed growth in children
- Vitamin deficiency even after ingesting an adequate amount
This test is also recommended in case of disorders like:
- Pancreatitis
- Cystic fibrosis
- Shwachman-Diamond syndrome
Fecal Elastase Test: Main Highlights
- Instructions: Fasting is not required
- Recommended age group: All age groups
- Sample type: Stool sample
How to Interpret the Fecal Elastase Test Report
Normally pancreatic elastase is excreted in the stool and is measured in micrograms per gram of stool sample.
The normal range varies somewhere between 200-500 micrograms per gram of stool sample.
Any value lower than normal range indicates pancreatic insufficiency that could be either mild, moderate, or severe depending upon the amount of elastase excreted.
