An elevated lipase level can indicate a problem with the pancreas. It is often ordered in patients with abdominal pain.
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.
ugh this thing never has answers
check into acute pancreatitis or liver viruses
A lipase test result of 239 is within the normal range (normal range is typically around 0-160 U/L). Lipase is an enzyme produced by the pancreas and elevated levels can indicate pancreatitis or other pancreatic disorders, so further evaluation may be needed if there are symptoms or other abnormal test results.
Lipase is the enzyme that digests fats and oils (lipids). Low levels of lipase means the body cannot digest lipids. The affected person is most probably underweight, and cannot put on weight easily. Other symptoms are smelly & floating stools and gas.
be asked whether they are taking certain prescription drugs that can affect the accuracy of the lipase test. Drugs that can cause elevated lipase levels include bethanechol, cholinergics, codeine, indomethacin, meperidine, methacholine, and morphine.
Elevated levels of amylase and lipase in the blood are primary laboratory findings used to diagnose pancreatitis. These enzymes are released by the pancreas and their increased levels indicate inflammation or damage to the pancreas.
Increased lipase levels are found in acute pancreatitis, chronic relapsing pancreatitis, and pancreatic cancer. High lipase levels also occur in certain liver diseases, kidney failure, bowel obstruction, peptic ulcer disease,
yes lipase is acidic
Inflammation
Yes.
