Lipase Blood Test
Lipase Blood Test
The Lipase Blood Test is a diagnostic test used to measure the level of lipase, an enzyme produced mainly by the pancreas that helps the body break down dietary fats. Elevated lipase levels can be a sign of pancreatic inflammation, such as in acute pancreatitis, or other conditions affecting the pancreas or digestive tract. This test is frequently requested in emergency and routine settings to help evaluate abdominal pain, digestive symptoms, or suspected pancreatic disorders.
Lipase testing is supported by clinical guidelines from organisations such as NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) and is used by healthcare providers across the UK to assist with the early detection and monitoring of pancreatic health.
What Does It Test For?
The test checks for abnormally high or low levels of lipase in the bloodstream. Elevated levels often suggest acute pancreatitis, a potentially serious condition in which the pancreas becomes inflamed. It may also be raised in chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, or other gastrointestinal conditions such as bowel obstruction, peptic ulcer disease, or gallstones. By identifying changes in lipase levels, clinicians can better diagnose the cause of abdominal discomfort, guide further imaging or treatment, and monitor the progress of pancreatic recovery.
