Why take the test?
It is important to check the health of your pancreas, especially if you have a lifestyle that involved heavy alcohol abuse. It is also important to check the functioning of your Lipase if there is a family history of chronic pancreatitis.
50%
of cases are caused by gallstones
According to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), acute pancreatitis is a common cause of acute abdominal pain. There are about 56 cases per 100,000 people per year in the UK. 25% of these cases are caused by alcohol and another 25% by other factors.
75%
of chronic pancreatitis cases in Western Europe are due to alcohol consumption
According to NICE, cigarette smoking and alcohol usage had been found to be strongly associated with chronic pancreatitis and will exacerbate the condition. In 5% of cases, a hereditary factor is the cause, other causes include: hypercalcaemia, hyperlipidaemia or autoimmune disease.
Experts Opinion on Lipase Home Tests
"A lipase test is done to detect whether there is any problem with the pancreas. Pancreatic lipase is analysed to look at diseases such as Crohn's disease, cystic fibrosis or celiac disease."
