Specificity of, and influence of hemolysis, lipemia, and icterus on serum lipase activity as measured by the v ‐LIP‐P slide

ConclusionsThese results show that Spec cPL is specific for pancreatic lipase, while the v‐LIP‐P slide is not. In addition, hemolysis and lipemia had no effect on Spec cPL, while severe icterus resulted in a slight decrease in Spec cPL. Hemolysis and icterus had a significant effect on the v‐LIP‐P slide. The effect of lipemia on the v‐LIP‐P slide cannot be conclusively established based on this study.
