STOOL ELASTASE TEST is often ordered as part of a malabsorption or pancreatic function evaluation. Doctors may request it when you have persistent diarrhea, greasy stools, unexplained weight loss, or abdominal pain.

Who should get STOOL ELASTASE TEST done in Gurugram?

NAFLD is rising rapidly among Gurugram's large corporate workforce in Cyber City, Golf Course Road, and DLF phases, driven by sedentary desk work, high-calorie dining, irregular meals, and rising alcohol use in the corporate social scene. NAFLD affects an estimated 25 to 35% of India's urban adults , the majority unaware. Regular liver testing in Gurugram's residential areas including Sector 56 and Udyog Vihar enables lifestyle intervention before irreversible scarring occurs. Patients recovering from hepatitis, those in alcohol recovery, and anyone with persistently unexplained fatigue also benefit from regular liver monitoring.

What conditions can STOOL ELASTASE TEST help diagnose?

It helps detect exocrine pancreatic insufficiency from chronic pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, pancreatic surgery, or blockage. Low results arise from disease or severe pancreatic damage, and heavy alcohol use or family history of pancreatic disease makes testing more relevant.

What do STOOL ELASTASE TEST results mean?

ALT above 56 U/L or AST above 40 U/L signals hepatocyte stress. The pattern matters: ALT greater than AST typically suggests NAFLD or viral hepatitis. An AST:ALT ratio above 2 points to alcoholic hepatitis. High ALP with normal transaminases suggests bile duct disease rather than liver cell damage. Low albumin alongside high bilirubin indicates serious loss of liver function.

How often should STOOL ELASTASE TEST be repeated?

Adults with no liver risk factors and a previously normal result: annually. Patients with NAFLD or treated hepatitis: every 6 months. Patients on hepatotoxic medication: baseline before starting, then at 1 month, 3 months, and every 6 months during treatment. Patients with active liver disease: at intervals specified by their gastroenterologist.

What happens after STOOL ELASTASE TEST results are ready?

You will be notified the moment results are ready, usually the same day for routine tests. Open the report in the GetVisit app to see each value beside its reference range, share it with your doctor in a tap, or book a specialist consultation to talk it through.
