An update on serviceability of Lipase & Amylase

Both serum Amylase and Lipase are very useful in the diagnosis of Acute Pancreatitis. Its clinical usefulness in
Diabetic Mellitus as well as liver and kidney diseases are being explored and many experimental studies have been
done in this direction. This review article highlights the research findings done during the last two decades on the role of Amylase and Lipase in the laboratory diagnosis of digestive, gastro duodenal, Diabetes Mellitus, liver and
kidney diseases. More studies are required in this area for the diagnosis and treatment modalities for the above
organs and to recommend the routine use of these two enzymes when other laboratory findings are inconclusive.
