DESCRIPTION
The Pancreatic Elastase 1 (faecal) test by Nutripath is designed to assess pancreatic function through a non-invasive stool sample. This test quantitatively measures the enzyme elastase-1, which reflects the pancreas’s ability to produce digestive enzymes. It's a useful tool for evaluating exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, aiding healthcare practitioners in understanding digestive health without the need for blood tests. Simple to collect and convenient, it supports personalised health assessments.
