What does Fecal Elastase, Stool measure?
The Fecal Elastase, Stool test measures the concentration of the elastase enzyme in a stool sample. Elastase is produced by the pancreas and helps in breaking down proteins in food. A low level of pancreatic elastase in stool is indicative of reduced enzyme production and points to exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), which can impair nutrient absorption. Normal levels suggest adequate pancreatic function.
