About Beckman Coulter OSR6230 Olympus LIP Reagent – Olympus Lipase Reagent (Lipase Test – LIP Test)
Measurements of serum lipase are used in the diagnosis and treatment of acute pancreatitis or pancreatic injury.
Beckman Coulter OSR6230 Olympus LIP Reagent – Olympus Lipase Reagent (Lipase Test – LIP Test) Methodology:
The lipase procedure is based on the colorimetric method of lmamura, et al. Pancreatic lipase hydrolyzes esters of long chain fatty acids from their triglycerides. The enzyme activity requires the presence of co-lipase. Diglyceride is hydrolyzed to 2-monoglyceride and fatty acid. The 2-monoglyceride is then measured by coupled enzyme reactions catalyzed by monoglyceride lipase (MGLP), glycerol kinase (GK), glycerol phosphate oxidase (GPO) and peroxidase (POD).
What is lipase Test (Olympus LIP Test)
A lipase test (LIP Test) is a blood test that measures the level of a digestive enzyme called lipase in your blood. It may also be referred to as a serum lipase or LPS. Lipase is a type of digestive enzyme that helps your body absorb fats. The pancreas — a long, flat organ between your stomach and spine — makes most of the lipase in your body. Your salivary, or spit, glands and your stomach also make some.
Your blood normally contains some lipase. It may contain more than usual if you have a problem with your pancreas.
Your doctor may want to find out the level of this protein in your blood to find how your pancreas is doing.
What is lipase Test (Olympus LIP Test) used for?
Your doctor will order a lipase test (LIP Test) if they think you may have something wrong with your pancreas. Acute pancreatitis, which is sudden, severe inflammation of the pancreas, is the most common problem that a lipase test might be used to diagnose. If you have pancreatitis, you might have these symptoms:
- Severe pain in your belly that may extend to your chest or back
- Belly pain that feels worse after eating
- Fever
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Fat in your stool (poop)
- A rapid pulse
- Unexplained weight loss
- Yellowing of your eyes and skin (jaundice)
A lipase test (LIP Test) may be used to monitor your pancreas if you’ve already been diagnosed with acute or chronic (ongoing) pancreatitis. It can find out whether your blood lipase levels are increasing or decreasing. It can also be used to find out whether your treatment is working well.
Sometimes, your doctor will order a lipase test (LIP Test) to help monitor or diagnose other conditions, such as:
- Cystic fibrosis
- Crohn’s disease (inflammation of your digestive tract)
- Celiac disease (an abnormal immune response to the protein gluten)
