    What Is Lipase Test?

    The Lipase test involves a blood analysis to determine lipase enzyme levels, which are crucial for digestion.

    Primarily produced by the pancreas, lipase assists in fat digestion within the small intestine. While low levels of lipase are normal, an injured pancreas may release more of this enzyme into the bloods. High lipase levels can point to pancreatic disorders such as acute pancreatitis, which is marked by inflammation. This test is typically advised if you show symptoms like severe abdominal discomfort, nausea, or vomiting. Increased lipase can also indicate other pancreatic issues or conditions unrelated to the pancreas.

    If you are located in Bangalore and want to assess your pancreatic health, you can conveniently arrange for a Lipase test at home.

    Lipase Test - Parameters

    The Lipase test focuses on a single parameter: the levels of lipase enzyme in your blood.

    This enzyme is important for digesting dietary fats, as it transforms triglycerides (complex fats) into simpler components like fatty acids and glycerol. Lipase also aids in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins during digestion in the small intestine. Moreover, it is present in the liver and adipose tissue within the body.

    Lipase Test - Preparation

    Here are a few key things to remember before undergoing the Lipase test at home:

    Prerequisites The Lipase test does not require fasting.

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

    Who Should Get a Lipase Test? A Lipase test is advisable if you have symptoms indicative of pancreatic issues, such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or fever. It is also used to help diagnose and monitor conditions like acute pancreatitis, celiac disease, and cystic fibrosis. Additionally, this test can assess the success 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. Some medications can influence your lipase levels, and your doctor will inform you if you need to stop any of your medications before the test. Always follow your prescribed instructions and avoid stopping medications without their guidance.

    Why Take a Lipase Test?

    Conducting a Lipase test is essential for diagnosing and overseeing various conditions pertaining to the pancreas. It is especially useful in pinpointing acute and chronic pancreatic disorders. A Lipase test may be indicated for:

    • Patients with symptoms such as:

    • Pain in the upper abdomen (that may radiate to the back)

    • Vomiting

    • Diarrhoea

    • Swollen or tender abdomen

    • Fever

    • Quickened heartbeat, potentially indicating pancreatic concerns.

    • Diagnosing acute pancreatitis, particularly in cases that involve severe abdominal pain, nausea, and fever. • Identifying other pancreatic disorders like duct obstruction or pancreatic cysts. • Assessing the effectiveness of treatments for pancreatic diseases, including pancreatitis. • Diagnosing and managing chronic conditions impacting the pancreas, such as cystic fibrosis, Crohn's disease, and celiac disease. • Assisting in the diagnosis of non-pancreatic disorders that may affect the kidneys, stomach, or intestines.

    Blood Sugar Test Results and Interpretation

    Analysing the results of a Lipase test enables doctors to gauge pancreatic function and uncover potential issues. Refer to the table below for guidance on interpreting the results:

    ParameterBiological ReferenceInterpretation
    Lipase Serum23-300 U/LIn cases of acute pancreatitis, both lipase and amylase are elevated, with levels remaining high for 7-10 days. The combined assessment of amylase and lipase is effective for ruling out acute pancreatitis. Elevated lipase levels are also associated with various conditions, including pancreatic disorders like duct obstruction or pancreatic cancer, chronic kidney disease, peptic ulcers, gallbladder disease, intestinal blockages, diabetes, salivary gland disorders such as infections or cancer, and alcohol use disorder. Low lipase levels may indicate permanent pancreatic damage, commonly seen in chronic conditions such as cystic fibrosis or chronic pancreatitis.

    The results of the Lipase test will be considered by your doctor along with other diagnostic data to establish an accurate diagnosis and recommend the best course of treatment.
