Pancreatic Enzymes Panel - Amylase & Lipase
The first-line panel for suspected pancreatic inflammation. Combines both key pancreatic enzymes - lipase (more specific) and amylase (rises faster) - for accurate detection of pancreatitis.
This panel is the standard first-line test for suspected pancreatic inflammation. It combines two essential pancreatic enzymes that work together to give you the most accurate picture of pancreatic health.
Why This Panel: • First-line tests for suspected pancreatic inflammation • Lipase is more pancreas-specific • Often ordered together for abdominal pain, nausea, or acute flares • Simple, low-cost, and easy to interpret
What's Included:
• Lipase - The gold standard for pancreatitis detection. Lipase is produced almost exclusively by the pancreas, making it highly specific. It stays elevated for 8-14 days after an episode.
• Amylase - A digestive enzyme that rises quickly (within 6-12 hours) during acute pancreatitis. While less specific than lipase, it can detect some conditions that lipase might miss.
Testing both enzymes together provides the most comprehensive assessment. If one enzyme is elevated, checking the other helps confirm the diagnosis and rule out false positives.

What This Panel Measures
This panel measures two key pancreatic enzymes: Lipase (normal 0-60 U/L) is the most specific marker for pancreatitis. Amylase (normal 30-110 U/L) rises quickly during acute episodes. Levels 3+ times normal for either enzyme strongly suggest pancreatitis.
Who Should Get This Panel
Anyone experiencing upper abdominal pain (especially pain that radiates to the back), nausea, vomiting after eating, or symptoms suggestive of pancreatitis. Also valuable for monitoring chronic pancreatitis, evaluating recurrent digestive issues, and assessing pancreatic health after gallbladder problems.

When to Get Tested
No fasting required. Test as soon as possible if acute pancreatitis is suspected - both enzymes rise within hours. This panel is also useful for routine monitoring of chronic pancreatitis or digestive concerns.
Understanding Your Results
Normal ranges: Lipase 0-60 U/L, Amylase 30-110 U/L. Levels 3+ times normal strongly suggest acute pancreatitis. Moderately elevated levels may indicate chronic pancreatitis, biliary disease, or other digestive conditions. When both enzymes are elevated, pancreatitis is very likely.
