Pancreatic Profile Test
Pancreatic Profile Test can measure enzymes and are used to diagnose an attack of pancreatitis. These tests are mainly:
- Serum amylase: Helps to diagnose if there is an Increase of amylase in the blood, which usually indicates pancreatitis.
- Serum lipase: Sudden (acute) pancreatitis almost always raises the level of lipase in the blood.
Other tests can help to diagnose the number of white blood cells which rises during an attack of pancreatitis, sometimes dramatically. Increases in liver enzymes, particularly of alanine amino transferase and alkaline, can be a sign of sudden pancreatitis caused by gallstones, which can also be diagnosed. The level of bilirubin in the blood is also tested to see if it’s increased, as it does if the common bile duct is blocked.
Why Pancreatic Profile Test Advised?
If the levels of lipase and amylase are higher than normal, it may indicate pancreatic injury or another disease. As per the record, levels of greater than three times the upper limit of normal usually lead to a diagnosis of pancreatitis. Lipase levels alone can’t determine the severity of an acute pancreatitis attack, so if the results are abnormal then patients will be recommended tests such as an ultrasound, CT scan, MRI scan, and endoscopy. Elevated amylase levels show that there could be a problem, but not necessarily the pancreas may be involved. To be precise, lipase levels are compared with amylase levels, which are usually more specific for pancreatic disorders.
