Lipase Serum

The Lipase Serum test measures the level of lipase, an enzyme primarily produced by the pancreas, in the blood. Lipase plays a crucial role in breaking down fats during digestion. Elevated lipase levels are often indicative of pancreatic disorders, such as pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, or other gastrointestinal conditions. This test is commonly used to diagnose and monitor pancreatitis, assess the function of the pancreas, and help investigate abdominal pain or digestive issues.
