LIPASE
What does LIPASE measure?
The lipase test measures the level of lipase, an enzyme mainly produced by the pancreas that helps digest fats. It may be ordered when a healthcare professional is evaluating pancreatic function or investigating conditions that can affect the pancreas. Lipase levels may also be assessed alongside other laboratory tests and clinical findings to support diagnosis and monitoring.
