If you are using these tests to investigate a patient's pancreatic exocrine
function, you should consider the possibility of faecal elastase analysis.

Subject: faecal fat measurement
Hi,
We get about 4-5 faecal fat measurements a year.
Are there any better/quick test to assess malabsorption?
Or are there any labs still measuring faecal fats?
