The Pancreatic (Chronic) Profile is a focused diagnostic panel designed to evaluate long-term pancreatic health and detect markers associated with chronic pancreatitis. By assessing key enzymes, metabolic indicators, and inflammation markers, this profile helps clinicians understand the severity and progression of chronic pancreatic dysfunction. It is ideal for individuals with persistent abdominal pain, digestive issues, or a history of pancreatic disease.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's):
What does the Pancreatic (Chronic) Profile include?
It typically measures pancreatic enzymes, metabolic markers, and inflammation indicators related to chronic pancreatitis.
Who should consider taking this test?
Individuals with chronic abdominal discomfort, digestive malabsorption, or suspected long-standing pancreatic issues.
How is the sample collected?
A routine blood sample is taken for enzyme and biochemical analysis.
Can this test detect chronic pancreatitis early?
It supports early detection by identifying enzyme abnormalities and inflammation markers consistent with chronic disease.
Is fasting required for this profile?
Fasting is often recommended; your clinician will confirm preparation requirements.
Can this test help monitor ongoing pancreatic conditions?
Yes, it is useful for tracking disease progression and evaluating treatment effectiveness.
Does alcohol consumption affect the results?
Yes, alcohol can influence pancreatic enzyme levels and should be avoided as advised before testing.
How long does it take to get the report?
Results are usually available within the standard biochemical testing timeline.
