Pancreatic Profile: Laboratory Evaluation of Pancreatic Function
The pancreas is a fundamental organ for the body's balance, acting both in the digestion of food and in the regulation of glucose metabolism. Alterations in its function can be associated with acute or chronic conditions, such as pancreatitis, pancreatic insufficiency and metabolic disorders, making laboratory assessment an essential tool in clinical practice.
The pancreatic profile is made up of tests that help identify pancreatic lesions, monitor the patient's clinical progress and support the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain of unknown origin. The combined interpretation of these markers allows for a more accurate assessment of pancreatic function.
The main laboratory markers used to assess the pancreas are amylase and lipase, enzymes directly related to pancreatic activity.
Below, we present the pancreatic profile markers and their clinical application:
- QUIMIAMIL - Amylase
Monoreagent, liquid, ready to use
Methodology: Direct substrate (liquid)
PresentationsGeneral Line: 6 x 10ml and Bulk Line: 1 x 200mL
Diagnostic purpose: Elevated serum levels are often associated with acute pancreatitis, but can also occur in other abdominal conditions. As it is not exclusive to the pancreas, its interpretation should be carried out in conjunction with other markers.
- QUIMILIP - Lipase
Bireagent, Liquid, ready for use
Methodology: Colorimetric
Presentations: General Line: R1: 4 x 10 mL + R2: 1 x 10 mL
Diagnostic purpose: its elevation is considered one of the main laboratory indicators of acute pancreatitis, with greater specificity and remaining elevated for longer compared to amylase. For this reason, it is widely used for diagnostic confirmation and clinical follow-up.
The integrated analysis of amylase and lipase increases the assertiveness of the diagnosis, making it possible to distinguish pancreatic alterations from other gastrointestinal conditions, as well as helping to monitor the evolution of the clinical picture.
Monitoring these parameters is essential for the early identification of pancreatic alterations and for proper treatment, especially in urgent and emergency situations.
For the laboratory evaluation of the pancreatic profile, Ebram offers reagents for the measurement of amylase and lipase, developed to meet the biochemistry routine with quality and reliable results.
