Core Tip	Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) results from primary pancreatic diseases or secondarily im­paired exocrine pancreatic function. Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) may prevent serious nutritional complications when such patients have symptomatic EPI. However, EPI may be more prevalent in patients with non-pancreatic diseases, diabetes, and pancreatic cancer than has generally been appreciated. Scant published evidence on EPI in these less common etiologies precludes firm recommendations on management. Robust clinical studies are urgently needed to understand the relationships between EPI and medical conditions beyond those with proven mechanisms, and examine the potential role for PERT.
