The Role of Pancreatic Enzyme Insufficiency in the Etiology of Functional Dyspepsia Resistant to Standard Treatment
Pancreatic enzyme insufficiency was identified in 7.57% of patients resistant to standard treatment. In patients resistant to standard therapy for at least 4 weeks, the presence of symptoms such as diarrhea, sticky stools, and foul-smelling stools, along with diabetes mellitus and low serum calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium levels, may warrant consideration of PEI as a potential underlying condition.
