LIPASE BF
The reference range for lipase in body fluids is undefined. The result must be integrated into the clinical context and/or compared to a synchronous serum or plasma measurement.
This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by University of Colorado Hospital. It has not been cleared or approved by the FDA. The laboratory is regulated under CLIA as qualified to perform high-complexity testing. This test is used for clinical purposes. It should not be regarded as investigational or for research.
