Advanced Pancreatic Profile Blood Test

The Advanced Pancreatic Profile Blood Test is a comprehensive blood test that can help diagnose and monitor a range of pancreatic disorders. The package may include the following tests:

1. Amylase: This enzyme is produced by the pancreas and helps break down carbohydrates in the digestive system. Elevated levels of amylase in the blood can indicate pancreatic inflammation or disease.
2. Lipase: This enzyme is produced by the pancreas and helps break down fats in the digestive system. Elevated levels of lipase in the blood can indicate pancreatic inflammation or disease.
3. Insulin: This hormone is produced by the pancreas and helps regulate blood sugar levels in the body. Abnormal insulin levels can indicate pancreatic dysfunction or diabetes.
4. C-Peptide: This protein is produced by the pancreas when insulin is produced. Measuring C-peptide levels can help determine how much insulin the pancreas is producing.
5. Glucose: This test measures the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood. Abnormal glucose levels can indicate pancreatic dysfunction or diabetes.
6. CA 19-9: This is a tumour marker that can be elevated in pancreatic cancer or other pancreatic disorders.

The Advanced Pancreatic Profile Blood Test is a valuable screening tool for anyone experiencing symptoms of pancreatic dysfunction or those with a family history of pancreatic disease. Contact your healthcare provider or Healthcare nt Sickcare to schedule your test.
