Measures

Lipase, an enzyme that breaks down fats.

Why it matters

Lipase is produced mainly by the pancreas. Blood levels rise when the pancreas is more active than usual, which is why it's used when the question concerns that organ.

It's generally considered more specific to the pancreas than amylase.

Suits

People whose practitioner has specifically requested lipase.
