lipase levels in blood tests
Lipase levels in blood tests refer to the measurement of an enzyme called lipase present in the bloodstream. Lipase is primarily produced by the pancreas and helps in breaking down fat molecules for digestion. Elevated or abnormal lipase levels in the blood can indicate pancreatic inflammation or other conditions affecting the pancreas.
