Pancreatic Profile

What is included (2 tests)

About the Pancreatic Profile

The pancreatic profile measures amylase and lipase, enzymes released when the pancreas is inflamed. It is advised for sudden severe upper abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, to check for acute pancreatitis, and to follow recovery.

Symptoms and situations where this test helps

• Severe pain in the upper abdomen spreading to the back
• Repeated vomiting with abdominal pain
• Gallstones, high triglycerides or heavy alcohol use
• Follow-up after pancreatitis

Understanding your results

Lipase rising to more than three times the upper limit is a strong marker of acute pancreatitis. Amylase rises earlier and falls sooner. Mild increases can occur in other conditions, so the result is read with symptoms and imaging.

What your doctor may advise next

Your doctor may advise an abdominal ultrasound or CT, liver tests and a triglyceride level, and may admit you for treatment if pancreatitis is likely.
