A Lipase test is a blood test used to measure the amount of lipase, an enzyme produced by the pancreas, present in the blood. It is used in the diagnosis and monitoring of pancreatic disorders like acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic tumours, etc. Elevated levels of lipase in the blood may indicate pancreatic inflammation or other conditions affecting the pancreas. Your doctor may recommend a lipase blood test in case of abdominal pain, digestive issues or suspected pancreatic disorders.
