It's recommended that you follow up with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and discuss appropriate treatment options. |

Lipase Your lipase levels are within the normal range, which is a positive result. Lipase is an enzyme that plays a role in digestion by breaking down fats. Normal levels indicate that your pancreas is functioning properly. It's important to maintain healthy lipase levels as abnormalities in this enzyme can indicate pancreatic disorders. However, since your results are normal, there is no cause for concern at this time. |

This test is ideal if you're experiencing severe abdominal pain, especially in the upper abdomen that radiates to your back, along with nausea, vomiting, or digestive problems. It helps identify pancreatitis, a condition where your pancreas becomes inflamed and cannot properly produce enzymes needed to digest food. Many people use this test when they have unexplained abdominal pain or digestive issues that need investigation.
This panel measures Lipase and Amylase, two critical enzymes produced by your pancreas. These enzymes help break down fats and starches in your digestive system, and elevated levels can indicate pancreatic inflammation or damage. Together, these measurements help identify acute or chronic pancreatitis and assess how well your pancreas is functioning.
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your pancreatic enzyme levels mean for your digestive health and whether inflammation is present. These notes include personalized recommendations like dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, or whether you should follow up with a gastroenterologist. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your enzyme levels over time using our trends feature to monitor your pancreatic health, especially if you're making dietary changes or managing a chronic condition.
What this means
Your lipase level is slightly elevated above the normal range, which may indicate mild pancreatic inflammation or stress. While this is not necessarily severe, it suggests your pancreas may be working harder than usual and could benefit from dietary modifications and monitoring.
