Serum lipase is an enzyme produced primarily by the pancreas that helps digest fats. Measuring serum lipase is particularly valuable for diagnosing and monitoring pancreatitis in dogs, cats, and other animals. Elevated levels often indicate pancreatic inflammation or damage, making this test an essential part of diagnosing acute and chronic pancreatitis.

Kidney function tests play a critical role in assessing kidney health, diagnosing kidney diseases, and monitoring treatment effectiveness in veterinary medicine. By measuring substances indicative of kidney function, these tests provide valuable information that guides treatment decisions and ensures the well-being of animals. Regular monitoring and early intervention based on kidney function tests can significantly improve outcomes for animals with kidney disease.
