    Abstract
  • There are currently various pancreatic exocrine function tests with different indicators for detection, and there is still a lack of unified standard. This article summarizes the pancreatic exocrine function tests which are widely used or hold promise for application in clinical practice, briefly introduces the procedures of each test, and reviews their clinical practicability and advances, so as to provide a reference for the clinical application and research ideas of pancreatic exocrine function tests.
