Lipase, Serum
Serum lipase testing measures the level of lipase enzyme released primarily from the pancreas. Elevated levels are strongly associated with acute pancreatitis and pancreatic injury. This test is highly sensitive and specific for pancreatic disorders and is commonly used to diagnose, monitor disease progression, and assess response to treatment.
A lipase test measures lipase enzymes in the blood sample. It is normal to have some lipase in the blood, however, if it is found in excess, it indicates a problem with your pancreas. The most common problem is pancreatitis, wherein the pancreas gets swollen. The test may be prescribed by your doctor if they suspect you have pancreatitis. In addition, the test may also be suggested if you are receiving treatment for cystic fibrosis, celiac disease, and Crohn’s disease and wish to monitor the treatment. It is a simple blood test that doesn’t require you to move out of your home. A trained phlebotomist will reach your doorstep to collect the sample.
