Fecal pancreatic elastase: a reproducible marker for severe exocrine pancreatic insufficiency

Journal of Gastroenterology, 2006
In order to apply fecal pancreatic elastase for follow-up of exocrine pancreatic function in chronic pancreatitis and cystic fibrosis, we examined the sensitivity, specificity, and long-term variability of a new polyclonal antibody-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Patients with definite chronic pancreatitis (n = 23), probable or possible

Comparison of Fecal Elastase‐1 and Pancreatic Function Testing in Children

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 2012
ABSTRACTObjectives:The fecal pancreatic elastase‐1 (FE‐1) test is considered a simple, noninvasive, indirect measure of pancreatic function. We aimed to evaluate the performance of the FE‐1 test compared with the direct pancreatic function test (PFT) with secretin stimulation in children.Methods:Data of 70 children (6 months–17 years of age) who had ...

Fecal Pancreatic Elastase 1 Is Inaccurate in the Diagnosis of Chronic Pancreatitis

Pancreas, 1996
Many tests are available to assess pancreatic function. The ideal test would be simple and have adequate sensitivity in mild to moderate chronic pancreatitis (MCP) and severe CP (SCP). Fecal pancreatic elastase 1 (FPE1) assay (ScheBo Tech) has been proposed as a reliable test to evaluate pancreatic exocrine function, with sensitivities of up to 100% in

Lack of Correlation Between Fecal Elastase‐1 Levels and Fecal Nitrogen Excretion in Preterm Infants

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 2008
ABSTRACTWe measured fecal elastase‐1 (FE1) levels in 34 preterm newborns (15 small‐for‐gestational‐age and 19 appropriate‐for‐gestational‐age) during the first 2 months of life and evaluated whether they were correlated with nitrogen loss in stools. FE1 increased over time, and values were similar in both groups of newborns.

Fecal elastase measurement- beware; A cautionary tale

American Journal of the Medical Sciences
Fecal elastase testing of stool is increasingly utilized for the diagnosis of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). However, testing is being used in other settings such as evaluation of diarrhea where interpretation may be inaccurate resulting in unwarranted additional testing and prescription of pancreatic enzymes.Over a 24-month period, we ...

Fecal elastase 1, serum amylase and lipase levels in children with cholestasis

Pancreatology, 2005
The pancreatic functions of children with cholestatic liver diseases were unclear. Due to anatomic vicinity and common ontogenic origin, hepatobiliary disorders of infancy may also affect pancreatic function. The aim of the study was to evaluate the exocrine pancreatic function and common pancreatic function tests in children with cholestatic disorders.

Fecal Pancreatic Elastase 1 in the Work Up of Patients with Chronic Diarrhea

International Journal of Gastrointestinal Cancer, 2000
Quantitative determination of pancreatic elastase-1 (E1) in stools has been proposed as a novel, noninvasive test of pancreatic function. The aim of the study was to verify its role in the differential diagnosis of chronic diarrhea.E1 was measured in spot stool samples of 50 patients with pancreatic disease (PD), 62 with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)

Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency: Comparing fecal elastase 1 with 72-h stool for fecal fat estimation

Indian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2016
Identification of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) is important in the management of chronic pancreatitis. The 72-h stool for fecal fat estimation (FFE) has long been considered a gold standard indirect test for the diagnosis of PEI. However, the test is cumbersome for both patients and laboratory personnel alike.

[The role of fecal elastase-1 in pancreatic diseases].

Zhonghua nei ke za zhi, 2007
To determine the average concentration and its ranges of fecal elastase-1 (FE1) in healthy controls; to calculate the sensitivity and specificity of FE1 in the assay of pancreatic insufficiency; and to evaluate the diagnosing and differentiating value of FE1 in pancreatic diseases.Used the FE1 ELISA kit to quantitate the concentrations of FE1 in 73 ...

Fecal elastase-1 is decreased in villous atrophy regardless of the underlying disease

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2001
Background Fecal elastase‐1 (E1) is a sensitive and reliable test in the assessment of exocrine pancreatic function in cystic fibrosis (CF). In patients with celiac disease (CD), different E1 values have been reported. E1 levels in other malabsorption conditions are unknown.
