Lipase is an enzyme that is mainly produced by the pancreas and is responsible for the breakdown of fat. The laboratory value measures the lipase concentration in the blood and is used to assess pancreatic function and diseases.
A lipase test is recommended for: • People with symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting • Patients suspected of having acute or chronic pancreatitis • Monitoring of patients after surgery or with chronic pancreatic diseases • Clarification of unclear upper abdominal complaints
The test serves the diagnosis and monitoring of pancreatic diseases, especially in acute pancreatitis, and the clarification of unclear abdominal pain.
A high lipase value often indicates: • Acute or chronic pancreatitis • Tumors of the pancreas • Diseases of the bile ducts such as gallstones A low value rarely has clinical significance, but can occur in severe pancreatic insufficiency. Symptoms with elevated values can be: • Belt-shaped abdominal pain • Nausea and vomiting
The testing should be carried out in case of acute complaints.
• Lipase is more specific for pancreatic function than amylase, especially in the diagnosis of pancreatitis. • Certain medications, such as corticosteroids or diuretics, can influence lipase levels. • Chronic alcohol dependence often increases the risk of elevated lipase levels.
