    What Is Lipase Test?

    A Lipase test is a blood test designed to measure lipase enzyme levels, vital for digestion.

    This enzyme, mainly produced by the pancreas, aids in the breakdown of fats in the small intestine. It is normal to have small quantities of lipase in the blood, but a damaged pancreas might secrete higher levels. Elevated lipase can indicate pancreatic conditions, including acute pancreatitis, which involves inflammation of the pancreas. The test is often recommended if you experience symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting. Additionally, high lipase levels might signal other pancreatic disorders or occasionally relate to non-pancreatic health issues.

    If you live in Delhi, scheduling a Lipase test at home provides a convenient way to monitor your pancreatic health.

    Lipase Test - Parameters

    The Lipase test measures one key parameter: the concentration of lipase enzyme in the blood.

    This enzyme plays a significant role in digesting dietary fats by converting triglycerides (complex fats) into simpler components, including fatty acids and glycerol. It also facilitates the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins during the digestion of food in the small intestine. Additionally, lipase is found in both the liver and fat cells throughout the body.

    Lipase Test - Preparation

    Here are a few important points to consider before you undergo the Lipase test at home:

    Prerequisites The Lipase test does not require fasting.

    Best Time to Get Tested You can schedule a Lipase test at home at any time during the day.

    Who Should Get a Lipase Test? A Lipase test is advisable if you exhibit symptoms that suggest pancreatic issues, such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or fever. It is also utilized to help diagnose and monitor conditions like acute pancreatitis, celiac disease, and cystic fibrosis. Furthermore, this test can evaluate the effectiveness of treatment for pancreatic disorders.

    Cautions Before Taking a Lipase Test Before the test, consult your doctor regarding any medications you’re taking, including over-the-counter drugs, supplements, and prescription medications like birth control pills, pain relievers, or diuretics. Certain medications may influence your lipase levels, and your doctor will inform you if you need to discontinue any medications before the test. Always adhere to your prescribed instructions and do not stop any medications without their advice.

    Why Take the Lipase Test?

    • Individuals experiencing symptoms like:

    • Abdominal discomfort (particularly in the upper abdomen, possibly extending to the back)

    • Vomiting

    • Diarrhoea

    • Tender or swollen abdomen

    • Fever

    • Elevated heart rate, which may imply pancreatic issues.

    • Diagnosing acute pancreatitis, particularly in situations with severe abdominal pain, nausea, and fever. • Identifying other pancreatic disorders, such as duct obstruction or cysts. • Monitoring how effective treatments are for pancreatic diseases, including pancreatitis. • Diagnosing and managing chronic conditions affecting the pancreas, such as cystic fibrosis, Crohn's disease, and celiac disease. • Helping diagnose non-pancreatic disorders that impact the kidneys, stomach, or intestines.

    Lipase Test Results and Interpretation

    By interpreting the results of a Lipase test, doctors can assess how well the pancreas is functioning and identify any potential problems. Please see the table below for interpreting the results:

    ParameterBiological ReferenceInterpretation
    Lipase Serum23-300 U/LLipase levels rise alongside amylase during acute pancreatitis and usually remain elevated for 7-10 days. The combined measurement of amylase and lipase is effective in ruling out acute pancreatitis. High lipase levels can also be seen in various conditions, including pancreatic disorders like duct obstruction or pancreatic cancer, chronic kidney disease, peptic ulcers, gallbladder disease, intestinal obstructions, diabetes, and salivary gland disorders such as infections or cancer, as well as alcohol use disorder. Low lipase levels may suggest permanent damage to the pancreas, typically observed in chronic conditions like cystic fibrosis or chronic pancreatitis.

    Your doctor will assess the Lipase test results together with other diagnostic information to provide an accurate diagnosis and determine the optimal treatment strategy.
