Several non invasive tests are available to assess pancreatic function, but no one is routinely used in clinical practice to diagnose chronic pancreatitis, due to their poor sensitivity in diagnosing mild pancreatic insufficiency.

有几种非侵入性检查可用于评估胰腺功能,但由于它们在诊断轻度胰腺功能不全时敏感性较差,在临床实践中没有一种被常规用于诊断慢性胰腺炎。(13)C呼气试验与其他非侵入性功能检查有相同的局限性,但混合甘油三酯呼气试验似乎有助于确定酶替代疗法的正确剂量,以预防已知胰腺功能不全患者的营养不良。
