Pancreatic (Acute) Profile

Tests for pancreas enzymes are done with the pancreas profile test. This helps to tell if the pancreas has been harmed. This test looks at two things: serum lipase and serum amylase. Serum lipase helps detect acute pancreatitis, and serum amylase helps diagnose pancreatitis.

Use these blood tests to figure out if you have pancreatitis. They can tell you what kind of enzymes are in your blood. These tests are primarily about:

• It's called serum lipase because lipase is found in the blood when someone has pancreatitis quickly (acute).

• Serum amylase: This test helps figure out if there is an increase in amylase in the blood, which usually means pancreatitis.

Why done? 

If the lipase and amylase levels are higher than average, this could signify pancreatic damage or another disease. Record: Levels of more than three times the standard upper limit of normal, on the other hand, usually mean that someone has pancreatitis. Tests like ultrasound, CT scan, MRI scan, and endoscopy will be recommended if the lipase level is abnormal. These tests can't tell how bad an acute pancreatitis attack is. People who have high levels of amylase may have a problem, but not always the pancreas. Lipid levels are compared to amylase levels, which are more specific for pancreatic problems.
