Lipase Test In Kolkata

Lipase Test In Kolkata

Starts from 150*

Lipase is a type of protein produced from our pancreas which is an organ located near our stomach. The primary feature of this protein is to help us digest fats. Normally everyone has a small number of lipase enzymes in their blood but high levels of lipase available in the blood can indicate a pancreatic disease or pancreatitis (an inflammation of the pancreas).

With the help of a lipase test in Kolkata, the level of lipase protein in our blood can be measured. The primary feature of the lipase enzyme is to help the human body digest fats. The enzyme is released by a long and flat gland named the pancreas which is situated between the spine and the stomach.

Now, if the pancreas is injured or inflamed, the amount of lipase it releases is more than the usual amount. To find out how your pancreas is performing, you will recommend you to conduct a lipase test in order to find out the level of this particular protein in your blood.

AN OVERVIEW

Why Would We Require A Lipase Test?

A lipase test is required to know if you are having acute abdominal pain and your doctor suspects that you may have acute pancreatitis which is an inflammation of the pancreas that causes dire abdominal pain. The signs of pancreas inflammation include-

  • Fever
  • Nausea
  • Loss of appetite
  • Severe back pain or abdominal pain
  • Diarrhoea

In case you are already diagnosed with acute pancreatitis the test can be used to monitor your current condition of acute (severe and sudden) or chronic (ongoing) pancreatitis. With the help of a lipase test, your doctor will be able to find out if the lipase level in your blood is increasing or decreasing. The test can also determine if the ongoing treatment and medications are performing appropriately or not.

Oftentimes lipase tests are used to monitor other conditions of the body, which include:

  • Pancreatic cyst
  • Inflammation of the digestive tract of the human body is also known as Crohn’s disease.
  • Inflammation of the lining of our inner abdominal wall is also known as Peritonitis.
  • Infarcted or Strangulated Bowel (restricted blood supply of bowel).
  • Celiac disease (which is activated by gluten and in this disease our immunity system attacks our small intestine).
How To Prepare For The Lipase Test?

If you have scheduled lipase tests ahead of time then you need to fast for a significant amount of time before the test. For 8 to 12 hours prior to the test, you will be asked to stop eating and drinking anything other than water.

Your physician may also ask you to stop some of your medication that can directly or indirectly affect the results. Make sure your doctor knows all of your prescribed medications, supplements and over-the-counter medications you are consuming.

Some common medications that can affect the result of lipase tests are:

  • Codeine
  • Birth control pills
  • Thiazide diuretics
  • Morphine
Risks/Side Effects Involving The Lipase Tests

There is no risk or side effect as such in the lipase test. A simple blood test is conducted for it. Most likely, the lab experts, who will conduct the test, will put a tight rubber band around the patient’s upper arm, which makes it easier for the phlebotomists to find the veins.

A needle will be inserted in one of the patient’s veins and when enough blood has been collected in the syringe, the rubber band will go off and the phlebotomist will take out the needle while putting a bandage on the place from where the needle has been withdrawn.

A slight sting or pain may be felt by you when the blood will be drawn. The issue involved while drawing out the blood is very minor such as-

  • Dizziness
  • Slight pain
  • Infection
  • Rare chance of fainting
  • Bruising
  • Swelling and redness

Also, most symptoms pass away very quickly.

Interpreting Vitamin Lipase Test Results

If the level of lipase in your blood is very high(200 U/L), it indicates that you may have a medical condition which is affecting your pancreas. Anyone from age 16 and above can have 13 to 63 units of lipase per litre of blood. Nevertheless, the doctors can find out the exact level of the lipase in your blood after going through your test report.

In the case of acute pancreatitis, the level of lipase in the blood remains 5 to 10 times higher than the highest reference value provided by the lab. Other conditions that result in increased lipase levels in the blood include-

  • Celiac disease
  • Cystic fibrosis
  • Alcoholism
  • Blockage of the bowel (also known as bowel obstruction)
  • Inflammatory bowel disease
  • Swelling or inflammation of the pancreas
  • Pancreatic cancer
  • Renal failure or kidney failure

In pancreatitis, the lipase level remains higher than 200 U/L. In case of severe pancreatitis, the lipase level is measured at around 1000 U/L. A high lipase level means you need to get in touch with your physician as soon as possible.

The normal level of lipase in the blood remains to be between 0-160 units per litre of blood. The normal range for adults aged 60 years or younger is between 10-140 U/L. For those who are older than 60 years, the normal lipase level for them is between 24-151 U/L. It is also to be noted that the values may differ according to the laboratories.

Other than that, if your lipase level is not normal that does not necessarily mean that you need to go through medical treatment. Medicines such as birth control pills and codeine can certainly affect your lipase test results. If you have more questions, you can talk to the Flebo.in customer service.

Normal 10 – 140 units per litre
High More than 200 units per litre
Low Below 10 units per litre

Ms Sujata arrived on time and was very polite and caring throughout the process. Actually there was a mistake on my part where I couldn't attend her calls because I was not well and i feel asleep bcoz of my medicines. I had scheduled an appointment for my mother but Ms Sujata somehow reached my address by asking my neighbours. Such a lovely girl, and also the collection process was really smooth. Would absolutely recommend everyone to check out their services
