XL Lipase - 1 x 44 ml / 1 x 11 ml

Lipase

Lipase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes glycerol esters of long-chain fatty acids. The determination of lipase activity is primarily used for the investigation of pancreatic disorders.

In acute pancreatitis, lipase concentrations can increase to approximately 2–50 times the upper reference limit within 4–8 hours after the onset of abdominal pain, typically peaking at around 24 hours and gradually decreasing within 8–14 days.
