The Lipase Level Test is a blood test that measures the amount of the enzyme $\text{Lipase}$ circulating in the serum. Lipase is an enzyme primarily produced by the Pancreas that plays a vital role in the digestive system, where its function is to break down dietary fats (triglycerides) into smaller components (fatty acids) so they can be absorbed by the intestines.
When the pancreas is injured or inflamed, Lipase leaks into the bloodstream, causing blood levels to rise significantly. This makes the Lipase test the most specific and sensitive blood marker used for the diagnosis of Acute Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas).
At Augmentum Diagnostics, an NABL-Accredited Lab in Delhi, including our location near Dwarka, we offer rapid and accurate enzyme testing crucial for emergency and gastrointestinal diagnosis.
