Lipase Level
What's Included?

Requires an 8 HOUR FAST BEFORE testing. The health care provider may advise you to withhold drugs that may affect the test.

The Lipase is a blood test that measures the amount of the enzyme lipase. This test may be measured to evaluate pancreas function.

Lipase is an enzyme secreted by the pancreas into the small intestines. It catalyzes the breakdown of triglycerides into fatty acids. As with amylase, lipase appears in the blood following damage to the pancreatic acinar cells.

Drugs that may alter test results include bethanechol, cholinergic medications, codeine, indomethacin, meperidine, methacholine, and morphine.
