About this test
Key Aspects of Lipase:
- Function: Hydrolyzes triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerol.
- Sources: Primarily secreted by the pancreas into the small intestine, with smaller amounts from the stomach and salivary glands.
- Normal Levels: Typical serum lipase levels are roughly 23–300 U/L, though ranges may vary by laboratory, with a range of 10–140 U/L for adults under 60.
- High Lipase Significance: Elevated levels commonly indicate acute pancreatitis, pancreatic cysts, intestinal obstruction, or conditions like celiac or Crohn's disease.
Lipase Test Details:
- Preparation: Usually requires fasting (no food or drinks except water) for 8 hours before the blood test.
- Interferences: Certain drugs, including birth control pills, opiates (morphine), and thiazide diuretics, can affect results.
Preparation
- No fasting is needed for this test. You can book any available slot.
- Keep your doctor’s prescription or test request handy if you have one, and take regular medicines as your doctor has advised.
- Tell the sample collector if you take blood thinners, and wear a sleeve that rolls above the elbow.
