Liver and Pancreas Examination Program

This is a targeted set of laboratory tests designed for the diagnosis of acute or chronic pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), monitoring the condition, and assessing complications. The tests included in the package allow for the evaluation of pancreatic enzymatic function, liver and bile duct condition, the extent of inflammation, and potential systemic consequences.

When is it worth performing this examination program?

• When symptoms occur: severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, abdominal bloating, diarrhea, fever, or unexpected weight loss.
• Suspecting acute or chronic pancreatitis.
• Experiencing recurrent digestive disorders or unclear abdominal pain.
• Evaluating pancreatic function after previous inflammation, surgery, or treatment.
• Prophylactically - in case of gallbladder, liver diseases, or excessive alcohol consumption.

Why choose this examination program?

• The tests help detect pancreatic inflammation at an early stage and assess its severity.
• Includes indicators not only for the pancreas but also related systems - liver, blood coagulation, and nutrient metabolism.
• Useful for monitoring the progression or complications of chronic pancreatic disease.
• Helps the doctor accurately assess the nature of the inflammation, prescribe treatment, or refer for additional diagnostics.

What does this examination program help determine?

• Pancreatic amylase (P-AMYL) and lipase (LIP) - key enzymes indicating acute or chronic pancreatic inflammation.
• AST (GOT), ALT (GPT), GGT - liver enzymes that help assess potential concurrent liver or bile duct damage.
• Total and direct bilirubin (BIL-T, BIL-D) - important indicators for evaluating bile flow and potential obstruction.
• Vitamin D - often reduced in chronic pancreatitis due to impaired absorption in the intestine.
• Prothrombin index (SPA / INR) - a blood coagulation indicator related to liver function, important for evaluating systemic effects of inflammation.
• Total protein (TP) - allows evaluation of nutritional status and potential protein deficiency due to chronic pancreatic disease or malabsorption.
