The normal lab values for lipase are 10 - 140 U/L. This being said, there are many factors which need to be considered when interpreting lab results. Even a value within this range could represent a problem. Only qualified health care professionals should make treatment decisions.

According to the test results from the hospital normal values are between 3.1-6.8 pmol/L
Acute pancreatitis: Destruction of pancreatic acinar tissue results in the escape of pancreatic enzymes into the pancreas and peritoneal cavity. The enzymes enter the blood by way of lymphatics or capillaries with subsequent elevation of serum levels. Increases of at least 2 x normal are seen in pancreatitis. In dogs, lipase increases within 24 hours and peaks (at a higher level than amylase) at 2-5 days. Increases of 3 times normal support a diagnosis of pancreatitis more strongly than more moderate increases, which may be accounted for by non-pancreatic causes. Lipase may be normal in up to 28% of dogs with pancreatitis. In the cat, lipase is not consistently elevated in pancreatitis. It was hoped that measurement of trypsin-like immunoreactivity (TLI) would be better for diagnosis in cats, as high values are seen in dogs with pancreatitis and are very useful for diagnosis in dogs with normal lipase values. However, recent data suggests that TLI values are not consistently increased in cats with confirmed pancreatitis, limiting the usefulness of this test to cats with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.

What are the normal values for the enzyme lipase inhuman hematology?Since normal reference ranges can vary depending upon many factors, including age, gender, and the population sampled to determine the reference range, I recommend that you check out www.labtestsonline.org - a very useful website for information regarding many clinical laboratory tests.
lab values for n is 135,lab values for k is 3.5 to 5.5.
"Amylase serum levels will rise with chronic pancreatitis." I am currently researching the effects on serum amylase and lipase in relation pancreatitis as part of a college course I am taking. What I have learned is that the amylase level will be elevated in ACUTE pancreatitis, but will be below the "normal" range in CHRONIC pancreatitis. In addition the lipase levels "parallel" the amylase levels, but lipase is a bit slower to rise and fall. They both elevate with acute pancreatitis, and both fall below "normal" range with chronic pancreatitis. One of my best references in researching these lab values inrelation to pancreatitis is the National Institute of Health (NIH) website.
The normal lab values would be a constant in a lab report.

Reference values for lipase determination are laboratory- and method-specific. In general, normal results are usually less than 200 units/L (triolein methods by titration or turbidimetry).
