Lipase near me in Greater Noida

The Lipase test is used to evaluate the levels of lipase enzyme (a type of digestive enzyme that helps your body to digest fat) made by the pancreas. It is available at an affordable price in Greater Noida with Tata 1mg Labs. The Lipase test is important to diagnose pancreas-related disorders such as pancreatitis (inflammation in the pancreas), blockages, and pancreas-associated chronic diseases. You may need the Lipase test if you experience upper abdominal pain radiating to the back, abdominal tenderness, nausea, pale stool, bloating, jaundice, rapid pulse, and fever.

A high lipase level may suggest pancreatic conditions like blocked duct, pancreatic cancer, peptic ulcer, or gallbladder disease. Conversely, a low lipase level may indicate permanent damage to pancreatic cells, often seen in chronic diseases like cystic fibrosis. Additionally, your doctor may request this test to evaluate treatment response. Overnight fasting is preferred but not mandatory for this test. If you are having the Lipase test to assess pancreatic health, you may be asked to avoid alcohol for 24 hours prior to the test, as alcohol consumption can elevate lipase levels and interfere with accurate results.
