Lipase blood test biomarker

What is Lipase?

Lipase is a pancreatic enzyme responsible for breaking down dietary fats into absorbable fatty acids. It is essential for healthy fat digestion and nutrient absorption. Blood lipase testing is often more specific for pancreatic inflammation than amylase.

What does it assess?

Lipase levels are primarily assessed to diagnose acute or chronic pancreatitis. They may also be elevated in gallstones, peptic ulcers, or other gastrointestinal diseases. Persistently elevated levels can indicate more serious pancreatic disorders.

How do I optimize my Lipase levels?

Eat a balanced diet low in saturated fats and alcohol. Address underlying gallbladder or liver issues that can trigger pancreatic stress. Avoid crash dieting or very high-fat meals that can overwhelm digestive enzymes. If diagnosed with pancreatitis, follow a medically supervised low-fat diet and consider enzyme supplementation if needed.

What does a good and bad Lipase level look like?

Normal lipase levels are generally between 0–160 U/L. Mild elevations may indicate temporary inflammation, but levels 3–5 times higher than normal are typical of acute pancreatitis. Chronically high levels may need imaging and further investigation.
