This shows that the sensitivity of dual testing above the threshold level is 93%, which is only marginally better than the 91% achieved by lipase as a single test.
The data showed that dual testing of lipase and amylase produced a sensitivity of 93% for AP at three times the ULN, which is an improvement of only 2% over lipase as a single test, a marginal gain achieved at double the cost.
Serum lipase should be the laboratory test of choice for suspected acute pancreatitis
The application of lipase as biocatalyst in transesterification of plant oils for biodiesel production offers an environmentally impact more attractive option compared to the conventional process.
Immobilization of lipase on silver nanoparticles via adhesive polydopamine for biodiesel production
Measurements of the activity of both lipase (triacylglycerolacylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.3) and a-amylase (EC 3.2.1.1) in serum are commonly used as aids in the diagnosis and follow-up of acute and recurrent pancreatitis (1); 19% of pancreatitic patients present with normal serum amylase (2), thus leaving lipase as the main hematochemical marker of this disease in a substantial number of patients.
(5) reported on a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patient with major lipase activity (up to seven times the upper reference value), with no parallel increase in amylase; in this case, the authors demonstrated a specific immunoglobulin G with high affinity for lipase as the cause of increased serum lipase activity.
