Abstract
FE-1 is useful to identify pancreatic insufficiency. Steatorrhea is anticipated in non-operated patients only when FE-1 is below the limit for a confident measurement of our assay. In operated patients, steatorrhea may be present even if FE-1 is only slightly reduced, that suggests a role for non pancreatic factors. FE1 is not useful to identify operated patients at risk of malabsorption.
