Impairment of Pancreatic Exocrine Function
The Problem of Definition
Terms used to identify patients who need treatment:
pancreatic exocrine insufficiency
maldigestion
steatorrhea
malnutrition
However, pancreatic exocrine insufficiency and a
subsequent maldigestion are present in some degree in all
patients suffering from chronic pancreatitis.

Elastasi Fecale – MRCP con secretina
Take Home Messages
1. Elastasi fecale = unico test di funzione esocrina pancreatica
disponibile
2. Nei pazienti con pancreatite (acuta, ricorrente, cronica)
3. La riduzione di elastasi fecale nel tempo è indice di una
cronicizzazione
4. La MR Addome è un esame completo, morfologico e funzionale
5. L’indicazione all’esecuzione di MR addome va attentamente
valutata poiché costoso
