Pre test Information : No Special Preparation Needed
A serum lipase test determines the level of lipase in the body. Lipase levels must be maintained in order to maintain normal digestive and cell function. However, abnormally high levels of the enzyme in your blood may indicate a health issue, particularly in the pancreas.
What is the purpose of the test?
These tests' results are typically used to diagnose specific medical conditions. The lipase test can also be used by healthcare professionals to track the progression of certain health conditions after they have been diagnosed. However, the test is typically used to make an initial diagnosis.
When a doctor notices that you have symptoms of a pancreatic disorder, he or she will most likely order the lipase test. Among these symptoms are:
- back pain or severe upper abdominal pain
- oily or fatty stools, fever
- appetite loss
- slimming down
- nausea accompanied by vomiting
What are the conditions that a lipase test looks for?
A lipase test can help with the diagnosis of the following medical conditions:
- Acute pancreatitis is characterised by a sudden swelling of the pancreas.
- celiac disease, an autoimmune condition in which gluten consumption damages the digestive system, chronic pancreatitis, which is a chronic or recurring swelling of the pancreas
- Cancer of the pancreas
