Lipase is an enzyme made by the pancreas. When you eat, lipase is released into the digestive tract to aid in the breakdown of fats. Lipase also functions to increase cell permeability.
The lipase test is used to measure the amount of lipase in the body. In many instances, the lipase test will be ordered in conjunction with the amylase test. An amylase test is used to diagnose diseases of the pancreas.
A lipase test may be ordered when a person has symptoms of acute pancreatitis or another pancreatic disorder.
The normal range of lipase is typically under 200 units per liter (U/L).
*Reference ranges are provided as general guidance only. To interpret test results use the reference range in the laboratory report.
