Evaluation of pancreatic function / 中国小儿急救医学

ABSTRACT

The evaluation of pancreatic function includes the evaluation of endocrine function and exocrine function.Insufficiency of pancreatic endocrine function can lead to pancreatic related diabetes.The pancreatic endocrine function is often evaluated by fasting blood glucose, two hours postprandial blood glucose, and glycosylated hemoglobin.Pancreatic exocrine dysfunction can lead to abdominal pain, abdominal distension, fatty diarrhea, malnutrition, weight loss and other manifestations.Pancreatic exocrine dysfunction is often atypical, and it is difficult to accurately evaluate pancreatic exocrine function, so the evaluation of pancreatic exocrine function is particularly important.There are indirect and direct methods to evaluate pancreatic exocrine function.At present, the most commonly used direct detection method is the detection of pancreatic function under intravenous anesthesia endoscope.Fecal elastase-1 is a commonly used indirect detection method at present.
