Difference between Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and Pancreatic enzymes (medication)

Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency vs. Pancreatic enzymes (medication)

Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is the inability to properly digest food due to a lack of digestive enzymes made by the pancreas. Pancreatic enzymes also known as pancrelipase and pancreatin, are commercial mixtures of amylase, lipase, and protease.

Similarities between Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and Pancreatic enzymes (medication)

Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and Pancreatic enzymes (medication) have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Amylase, Chronic pancreatitis, Cystic fibrosis, Digestion, Digestive enzyme, Lipase, Malabsorption, Pancreas, Pancreatic enzymes (medication), Protease.

Amylase

An amylase is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of starch into sugars.

Chronic pancreatitis

Chronic pancreatitis is a long-standing inflammation of the pancreas that alters the organ's normal structure and functions.

Cystic fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that affects mostly the lungs, but also the pancreas, liver, kidneys, and intestine.

Digestion

Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble food molecules into small water-soluble food molecules so that they can be absorbed into the watery blood plasma.

Digestive enzyme

Digestive enzymes are a group of enzymes that break down polymeric macromolecules into their smaller building blocks, in order to facilitate their absorption by the body.

Malabsorption

Malabsorption is a state arising from abnormality in absorption of food nutrients across the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
