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.

Serum separating tube also referred as SST is used in medical clinical chemistry that requires the blood serum.
"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.
Serum amylase raised in pancreatitis, DKA
The lipase test is a blood test performed to determine the serum level of a specific protein (enzyme) involved in digestion.
a small crack in my butt
When the pancreas is damaged or diseased, it releases amylase into the blood.

diarrhea, hypoparathyroidism, pancreatitis, Cushing's disease, and with excessive diuretic use
You have a slightly elevated level of an enzyme, known as lipase, that digests fat levels. Raised levels of lipase in the blood serum can indicate a range of pancreatic disease, which you may need to have a biopsy (tissue sample performed) to determine the cause if the CT is negative.
Exercise will increase serum creatinine.
PTH activates vitamin D in the body, which absorbs calcium and phosphate from foods. It works on the intestine to increase the absorption of calcium. It causes the bones to release more calcium, and causes the kidneys to reabsorb more calcium. This all helps to increase calcium levels.
Ingestion of sodium salts of LACTIC ACID causes DECREASE in uric acid excretion, whereas ingestion of sodium salts of of PYRUVIC ACID causes INCREASE in uric acid excretion.
serum calcium levels increase
