Serum Lipase

 
A Lipase test is used to determine the level of enzyme lipase made by the pancreas. This test can help diagnose pancreatitis (inflammation in the pancreas), find out any blockage in the pancreas, and pancreas-associated chronic diseases.
Lipase is a digestive enzyme that helps your body digest fat. The pancreas, an organ behind the lower part of your abdomen, produces most lipase. It is also made by your salivary (spit) glands and the stomach, and a small amount is also present in the blood.
