Pancreatic function tests

Testing for pancreatic disorders such as pancreatitis or pancreatic tumours is crucial for the diagnosis of pancreatic disorders, which often progress over a long period of time without obvious symptoms. Preventive pancreatic tests help to detect dysfunction in time, allowing preventive measures or treatment to be started. Pancreatic enzyme testing is particularly recommended for people with diabetes, a family history of pancreatic disease, alcohol or drugs that adversely affect pancreatic function. These tests are vital for early diagnosis and effective disease management.
