Elastase is an enzyme produced in the pancreas and released into the duodenum. The active digestive enzyme cleaves elastin (structural protein). In acute pancreatitis, elastase enters the serum through a barrier defect, leading to an increase. Serum elastase is a specific marker of acute pancreatitis. The procedure Material needed Blood serum Preparation of the patient … Elastase in Serum
Elastase is an enzyme produced in the pancreas and released into the duodenum. There it survives intestinal transit unharmed and is an important parameter for exocrine pancreatic function. The active digestive enzyme cleaves elastin (structural protein). Fecal elastase (synonym: stool elastase) is a specific marker of pancreatic insufficiency. The procedure Material needed Stool → at … Elastase in Stool
Lipase is an enzyme that breaks down lipids (fats) into their building blocks. It is produced in the pancreas (pancreas) and released into the duodenum (duodenum). There it then breaks down dietary fats into glycerol and fatty acids. Lipase is a specific marker of acute pancreatitis. The procedure Material needed Blood serum Ascites punctate – … Lipase: Function
