Elastase
- Question
- Hello,
Because having a cyst for many years that compresses the pancreatic duct, the gastroenterologist did an analysis of elastase. The result is 543 mg /g.
Should we be worried about this or is it just normal?
I saw that above 200 = normal subject, but with my 543 = am I wrong?
- Answer
- The value of the fecal elastase is greater than 200 and is considered normal. This result provides no other information about the problem of your cyst.
Cordially,
