About
A comprehensive program designed to evaluate the condition of the pancreas and detect potential issues at an early stage.
What's included
Blood Tests
• Pancreatic amylase – an enzyme produced by the pancreas, essential for digestion.
• Lipase – another enzyme produced by the pancreas, crucial for fat breakdown.
• Glucose – helps detect diabetes, which can be linked to pancreatic dysfunction.
• C-reactive protein (CRP) – an inflammation marker; elevated levels may indicate pancreatic inflammation.
• Complete blood count (CBC) – includes hematocrit, hemoglobin, red blood cells (RBC), platelets, white blood cells (WBC), WBC differential, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), which help detect signs of inflammation or infection.

Stool Analysis
• Coprogram (Stool Test) – evaluates the pancreas’s ability to break down fats and absorb nutrients.

Bruising (hematoma) after a blood test
Blood collection is a routine procedure, but it may sometimes cause bruising at the puncture site.
During venous blood collection both the skin and the vein are punctured. When the needle is removed, blood can leak into the surrounding tissue – especially if the pressure in the vein is high – and a hematoma (bruise) may form.
Contributing factors include the body's physiological and anatomical features: the condition of the veins and vessels, their thickness and elasticity, position and visibility.
How to avoid bruising
- Press firmly on the puncture site for 5–10 minutes.
- Keep the plaster on for at least 30 minutes.
- Avoid straining the arm – don't lift anything heavy for an hour and don't drive for the first 15–20 minutes after the draw. Even minor activity can lead to extensive bruising and swelling around the site.
