Chymotrypsin in Stool
This test measures the amount of chymotrypsin in a stool (poop) sample. Chymotrypsin is an enzyme, a protein that speeds up certain chemical reactions in your body. It is released by your pancreas (an organ behind your stomach) to help break down the protein in your food during digestion. If your pancreas is working as it should, there will be some chymotrypsin in your stool sample.
