General Health
Lipase is an enzyme produced almost exclusively from pancreatic acinar cells.
What is this test?
Pancreatic injury increases Serum lipase levels. In Pancreatitis, it rises almost at the same time as amylase (4-8 Hrs) but the elevation lasts much longer (7-10 days) as compared to amylase.
Lipase is offered as a lab test. Follow preparation instructions if any, and consult your doctor to interpret results.
