Small amounts of lipase are present in the blood, but if the pancreatic cells are inflamed, increased amounts pass into the blood. Symptoms of pancreas inflammation include severe stomach or back pain, fever, loss of appetite and nausea.
Our lipase test is often completed alongside an Amylase test to help diagnose and monitor acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, and other disorders involving the pancreas.
Lipase is an enzyme produced in the pancreas, mouth, and stomach. It helps with the digestion of fatty foods and is necessary for the digestion and absorption of nutrients in the intestines.
