Q: my lipase level is 29 u/l the standard range of that blood test is <=58. so is my lipase level low or normal?

Normal: For some lab tests there is no low abnormal value. Lipase is only abnormal when elevated. Yours is normal.

Question 1

what are the signs and symptoms of pancreatitis? is flattulance one of them? is low lipase levels one?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Pancreatitis can be acute and chronic. Acute pancreatitis is life threatening, its major symptom is abdominal pain and will typically present with a very high lipase. Chronic pancreatitis will present with bouts of recurrent abdominal pain and may associate flatulence. Pancreatic insufficiency, specifically lipase, may cause flatulence also. Dietary changes along with enzyme replacement may help.

Question 2

mid 20s, amylase 156 and lipase 152, a few years of recurrent diarrea. no upper abdominal pain. mildly low b12. no celiac or ibd. never drank. is this concerning for chronic pancreatitis or would this be very unlikely given age/symptoms??

Accepted Answer

: It isn't possible to speculate with this little information. Keep working with your doctor(s). Good luck.

Question 3

what causes low lipase levels on blood test?
lipase 7 iu/l (range is 15-60)
amylase 38 iu/l (range is 28-100)

would this cause symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Means nothing: Reference ranges are set so that several percent of healthies fall outside on either end. Unless you're obviously sick with bad maldigestion, I would make nothing of this

Question 4

35/f - intermittent luq pain 2wks, fatigue.
amylase norm, low: lipase
stool dark/small/soft.
worried about pacancer

are these symptoms suggestive?

Accepted Answer

Nonspecific : The symptoms you describe are too nonspecific. Amylase and lipase levels rarely correlate with pancreatic cancer. You're very young to have pancreatic cancer. Is there a family history or other reason you are concerned?
In general, however, persistent pain warrants further investigation.

Question 5

what causes low lipase?

Accepted Answer

No disease: Low lipase is not a pathologic state. You did not state the actual level and the normal ranges that the lab would have reported.

Question 6

lipase	21  l	22-51 (u/l) is this low?

Accepted Answer

Numbers are just...: Numbers are just numbers. Without details and the whole picture, such as why was labwork done, numbers cannot tell much. The result value in this question is a lipase level, which is usually from a blood sample. If the lab's reference range is 22-51, that means 95% of healthy people are in that range, and 5% of healthy people are outside that range. Time to ask the ordering doctor details.

Question 7

my lipase is an 11 . which is low on the scale. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Lipase: How does any test apply to me? To answer that it should be understood that test results are taken into account with the things the patients, says, the examination, lab tests, and all other diagnostic tests.  Your lipase levels are low-  this be from a normal pancreas or a  chronically damaged pancreas from over alcohol use after many years?

Question 8

what could cause low lipase? last week lipase 30 (23-300), this week lipase 15 l (16-63).

Accepted Answer

Low lipase: Low lipase levels can be seen with pancreatitis, crohn disease, cystic fibrosis, or celiac disease.

Question 9

i have been misdiagn... 3 times my lipase is 16u/l they saying that its really low i just need clarifaction on if thats normal or not?

Accepted Answer

: Lipase level of 16 units/L is normal. When a healthcare practitioner told you that the lipase level is low he or she meant to tell you it is not high or normal. Take care.

Question 10

my lipase level is 29 u/l the standard range of that blood test is <=58. so is my lipase level low or normal?

Accepted Answer

Normal: For some lab tests there is no low abnormal value. Lipase is only abnormal when elevated. Yours is normal.
