What is Serum Lipase (Lipase)?

Serum Lipase is measured as part of a other tests panel. Your lipase is normal, which is reassuring for the pancreas.

What does a high Serum Lipase mean?

Your lipase is elevated. Lipase is more specific to the pancreas than amylase, and a high level can indicate pancreatitis.

If markedly elevated: Your lipase is very high — this strongly suggests acute pancreatitis and needs prompt medical attention.
