Definition
What Lipase measures
Lipase is a pancreatic enzyme. Shoemaker protocols check it before and after VIP because an unexpected rise is a stop signal for that step.

Why it matters
How clinicians usually read it
It is on Complete as a CIRS-protocol safety marker, not as a Tasso+ Essential assay. Abdominal pain plus a rising lipase is a clinical problem, not a dashboard insight.
When it reads low
A lower value can mean
A lower lipase is usually uneventful. Isolated low values rarely drive a plan.
When it reads high
A higher value can mean
A higher lipase can mark pancreatic irritation or, in a VIP protocol, a reason to stop and call the clinician. Do not interpret a high value from this page alone.
Questions for a clinician
Bring the number into a real conversation
01
Is this a baseline lipase before VIP, or a post-dose check?
02
If this is up, what is the stop rule in your protocol?
03
Do we need a clinical exam rather than another number?
