Why the patients having jaundice experience stomach pain?

Jaundice is caused by a build up of bilirubin, that in itself is not thought to be painful but the underlying cause of the jaundice - biliary cirrhosis, pancreatitis, coagulopathy, renal and liver failure are all possible sources of pain and need to be further investigated. Obstructive jaundice, is caused by an interruption to the drainage of bile in the biliary system - this type of jaundice causes pain from an inflammation or blockage in a duct or organ. Jaundice and pain are symptoms of the underlying disease and needs to be treated as such.


With chronic pancreatitis does amylase and lipase lab values become normal?

"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.

Can you have pancreatitis and have a normal blood test?

Yes, it is possible to have pancreatitis and still have normal blood test results. In some cases, especially in mild or early stages of the condition, pancreatic enzymes like amylase and lipase may not be elevated. Additionally, certain tests may not detect inflammation or damage to the pancreas, leading to a normal blood profile despite the presence of pancreatitis. However, imaging studies and clinical symptoms are often used to confirm the diagnosis.
