Refers to EKG change: Refers to changes seen on the EKG of a person suffering a "transmural" heart attack. I.E., in cases where a coronary artery becomes suddently completely occluded by a clot, cutting off blood flow to the entire thickness of the heart muscle in the wall supplied by the artery, a portion of the EKG called the "st segment" rises substantially. This is the basis of immediate diagnosis of a heart attack.

chronic lipase elevation.  negative eus. possible causes?

Ignore it: Some people's lipase always runs high, and if the amylase is normal and there's nothing else to suggest pancreatitis on imaging or maldigestion / pancreatic insufficiency clinically, this is probably a false lead.

Question 8

what are indications of having a low cpk or high cpk elevations and what to do to lower it?

Accepted Answer

Good question: Low cpks don't mean much unless you're old and skinny. High cpks would indicate muscle inflammation or injury. You need to know the cause. Unless you have a muscle disease that is treatable, it will either normalize on it own or stay up.

for the past 2 years my absolute lymphs have shown an elevation of 4.1 but everything else has been in normal range. what could this be?

It's just you: If they're normally formed, don't give it another thought. The usual reference range is up to around 3.5, and you know that these are set so that a few percent of healthies will fall outside on either end. I'm betting that's you. Be glad for good health and best wishes.
