Comprehensive Pancreatic Health Panel - Complete Assessment

The most thorough pancreatic health assessment available. Evaluates pancreatic enzymes, glucose metabolism, insulin function, liver/biliary status, inflammation, and metabolic risk factors in one comprehensive panel.

This comprehensive panel goes far beyond basic enzyme testing to evaluate all aspects of pancreatic health and its connections to metabolic function.

Core Pancreatic Markers:
• Lipase - The gold standard for pancreatic inflammation
• Amylase - Quick-rising marker for acute pancreatitis

Glucose and Endocrine Function:
The pancreas produces insulin, making glucose monitoring essential:
• Fasting Glucose (from CMP) - Current blood sugar level
• Hemoglobin A1c - 2-3 month blood sugar averag
• Fasting Insulin - Direct measure of pancreatic insulin production

Inflammation and Systemic Response:
• C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) - Inflammation marker
• Complete Blood Count (CBC) - Immune response and overall health

Liver and Biliary Overlap:
Pancreatic and liver/biliary issues often coexist:
• ALT, AST - Liver enzymes (from CMP)
• Alkaline Phosphatase - Liver/biliary marker (from CMP)
• Total Bilirubin - Bile duct obstruction indicator (from CMP)
• GGT - Sensitive biliary marker

Metabolic and Risk Factors:
• Triglycerides (from Lipid Panel) - High levels linked to pancreatitis
• Calcium (from CMP) - Hypercalcemia can cause pancreatitis

Fasting Required

One or more tests in this panel require fasting for accurate results:

  • Do not eat or drink anything except water for 8-12 hours before your blood draw.
  • Water is allowed and encouraged - stay hydrated!
  • Schedule your lab visit in the morning for convenience.

What This Panel Measures

This panel measures 50+ individual biomarkers across 9 tests: pancreatic enzymes (amylase, lipase), comprehensive metabolic panel (glucose, calcium, liver enzymes, kidney function, electrolytes), HbA1c, fasting insulin, inflammation (hs-CRP), blood counts (CBC), GGT, and lipids (including triglycerides).

Who Should Get This Panel

Those with chronic or recurrent pancreatitis, people with risk factors for pancreatic disease (gallstones, high triglycerides, heavy alcohol use), diabetics wanting to assess pancreatic health, anyone with upper abdominal symptoms, and those seeking a comprehensive baseline of pancreatic and metabolic function.

Insulin Resitance Panel

Insulin resistance often develops silently—long before blood sugar levels appear abnormal on routine tests. The Insulin Resistance Panel is designed to detect early metabolic dysfunction by evaluating how your body produces and responds to insulin, not just your glucose levels alone. By combining HbA1c, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, C-peptide, and a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP), this panel provides a deeper, more accurate picture of insulin sensitivity and metabolic health. C-peptide adds an important layer of insight by showing how much insulin your pancreas is actually producing, helping distinguish between insulin resistance, early beta-cell stress, and other metabolic patterns that glucose testing alone can miss. This panel is ideal for individuals experiencing unexplained weight gain, fatigue, sugar cravings, or difficulty losing weight, as well as those with a family history of diabetes, metabolic syndrome, or cardiovascular risk. Identifying insulin resistance early allows for timely lifestyle or medical interventions and may help prevent progression to prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. Testing is completed at Quest Diagnostics locations nationwide, with fast, reliable results to help you take a proactive step toward better metabolic health.
