Lipase is an enzyme produced by the pancreas. The enzyme facilitates the breakdown of fats in food so they can be absorbed in the intestine. Higher levels of lipase could mean a problem with the pancreas, such as acute pancreatitis or sudden inflammation of the pancreas.
The Lipase - Urine (Spot) test is a diagnostic test that measures the level of lipase in the urine. This test is essential in detecting pancreatic diseases like pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. Pancreatitis can lead to severe complications if left untreated. It is often characterised by symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever.
Some of the common symptoms associated with pancreatic disorders include:
- Abdominal pain: This may be mild or severe and can occur in the upper or lower abdomen.
- Back pain
- Loss of appetite: Pancreatic disorders can lead to a loss of appetite, which causes weight loss.
- Nausea and vomiting: These symptoms occur because the digestive system is not functioning properly.
- Fever: A high temperature is often a sign of inflammation in the body.
- Diarrhoea or constipation: These digestive issues are common for individuals with pancreatic disorders.
- Rapid heartbeat: The inflammation in the body causes the heart to beat rapidly.
- Jaundice: Pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer can affect the liver and gall bladder, leading to jaundice. Jaundice causes yellowing of the skin and eyes, which occurs when there is a problem with the liver or gallbladder.

If the results of the Lipase - Urine (Spot) test indicate high levels of lipase, it may be indicative of pancreatic disorders such as pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer. In such cases, the patient may need to consult a medical professional for further diagnosis and treatment. The patient may need further diagnostic tests such as CT scans or MRIs to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment options may include medication, surgery, or changes in lifestyle habits.
