                                            Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is a disorder caused by the failure of the pancreas to deliver a minimum/
threshold level of specific pancreatic digestive enzymes to the
intestine, leading to the maldigestion of nutrients and macronutrients, resulting in their variable deficiencies. EPI is frequently
underdiagnosed and, as a result, patients are often not treated
appropriately. There is an urgent need to increase awareness of
and treatment for this condition. The aim of this American
Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Clinical Practice Update
Expert Review was to provide Best Practice Advice on the
epidemiology, evaluation, and management of EPI.
