LIPASE

The lipase test measures the level of lipase, an enzyme produced by the pancreas, in the blood. Elevated lipase levels can indicate pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, or other conditions affecting the pancreas. This test is used to diagnose and monitor pancreatic disorders, assess the severity of inflammation, and guide treatment decisions. The lipase test provides valuable information for managing pancreatic health, ensuring timely intervention, and preventing complications associated with elevated lipase levels.
