| Core Tip |
Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) is associated with chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, previous upper gastrointestinal surgery and type 2 diabetes. There should be a low threshold for testing for PEI in these patients. Proton pump inhibitor therapy may also be associated with PEI, or a false positive faecal elastase-1 (FE1). Until further evidence becomes available, we recommend repeat testing after a washout period. Steatorrhoea and weight loss were the only symptoms that predicted PEI in our cohort. Therefore, the diagnostic yield of FE1 testing in patients with non-specific presentations, such as bloating, is likely to be low. |
