Fish and chips or a creamy curry—while delicious, these British favourites can trigger indigestion for some. If you regularly feel unwell after eating rich or fatty meals, it might be worth checking your lipase levels.
Lipase is produced by the pancreas and is responsible for breaking down fat into smaller molecules your body can absorb. Low or high blood lipase may indicate your pancreas is struggling to keep up.
Difficulty digesting fat can be a sign of problems such as pancreatitis, gallstones, or issues with nutrient absorption. Seek prompt medical advice if symptoms persist.
The Lipase Home Blood Test Kit from Mayfield Clinic uses a tiny finger-prick sample, collected at home and sent to an accredited UK laboratory. Rapid, accurate results are delivered in just one working day. This makes it easier than ever to investigate your digestive symptoms from the comfort of your home.

Lipase helps break down dietary fats. If you frequently experience fatty, pale or floating stools and abdominal cramps, you could have trouble with fat digestion, which may be picked up by a blood lipase test.
Your pancreas is vital for digesting nutrients. If it's unable to function properly—due to inflammation, infection, or chronic disease—lipase and other enzymes may become abnormal in your bloodstream.
The Mayfield Clinic home kit is designed for adults, but if your child is experiencing ongoing digestive problems, seek direct medical advice for the most appropriate testing and care.
Check your pancreatic health with an easy, at-home lipase blood test kit.
