Overview
Pancreas is an organ located behind the stomach. It secretes substances like pancreatic juices that aid in digestion and management of blood glucose levels. Pancreas is also responsible for synthesis of insulin, a hormone vital for regulation for blood glucose levels.
Doctors use this test to diagnose acute pancreatitis, often alongside other criteria like symptoms and imaging, to identify the cause and recommend treatment.
