Question 1

substrate name for lipase enzyme?

Accepted Answer

Olive oil: At least that's what we used for assays when i was doing a lot of clinical chemistry.  Today kitmakers sell you "lipase substrate" which the physician need only do quality control on. I suspect it's olive oil.

Question 2

can someone have pancreatitis with no pain? i have elevated amylase serum at 206 and lipase enzymes at 898

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes you may have pancreatitis which is pain-free sometimes also pancreatic tumors and pancreatic cancer can present with little pain please have this you evaluated.

Question 3

why is my husbands lipase 450 and amylase 250 so high. they said he has cirrossis of the liver. those are pancreatic enzyme's.

Accepted Answer

I'm sorry: Elevated lipase and amylase can result from ongoing damage to the pancreas from alcohol -- perhaps refluxing up a damaged duct, or he may have a cystic fibrosis variant, a hereditary pancreatitis, or any of several other entities. Few diseases truly involve only one organ, and he may have more than one thing going on. This sounds serious and I am glad he has you to care for & love him.

Question 4

ive had pancreatic enzymes checked a few times over the years. lipase has never been elevated but amylase fluctuates. ive had it as high as 300. ive also had it just above the range and normal as well. never pancreatitis. could be cancer ???

Accepted Answer

: Cancer of pancreas at your age is highly unlikely. All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests.

Question 5

i gonna get the enzyme therapy for double chin with lipase, collagenase, hyaluronidase injections, my question is... is this treatment really effective? and also does it have any side effects? who cannot get this?

Accepted Answer

: A lot of the answer lies in who you are and what you and the double chin look like.  I would ask the folks who going to treat you what they expect to happen and give some estimates on what to expect in ladies like you.

Question 6

i have gerd, 4 small gastric ulcers, & gastritis. lipase enzymes mildly over limit, amylase levels are fine. what could this be from?

Accepted Answer

Excessive acid: There could be a medical condition causing too much acidity (zollinger-ellison) syndrome, or it could be from an h. Pylorii infection. Please discuss further with your GI doc since further testing is available to figure this out. Best wishes.

Question 7

if i vape and i have pancreatitis am i risking a flare up or no? no pain from pancreatitis just blood work had high lipase and amylase and liver enzymes but was due to an infection?

Accepted Answer

: vaping and smoking are not good for health in general but not causative of your pancreas problem

Question 8

can i drink in a few weeks at parties? about a month ago i had raised lipase and amylase docs said due to gastroenteritis and covid, liver enzymes were also elevated because of the gastroenteritis, but i had no pain in the pancreas or anything?

Accepted Answer

: If your liver enzymes have returned to normal, there should be no problem with moderate alcohol. If still abnormal or not yet retested, it would be safest to avoid alcohol. If any concern or doubt, discuss with your doctor. Good luck.

Question 9

ive had left flank pain and severe nausea, vomiting. all bloods normal except one of the enzymes is elevated associated with pancreatitis. what does it mean if only 1 of the two enzymes is elevated? its either lipase or amylase that is elevated?

Accepted Answer

: It is hard to diagnose that without an exam and maybe further testing. I suggest you pursue with your doctor if more tests are needed to daignose and treat your symptoms.

Question 10

hi there! i just had a pancreatic enzyme test done and the results are low on amylase and lipase (amylase 10 units, and lipase 3 units). i had an abdominal ct scan and ultrasound performed, but everything appeared normal. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Why the tests?: Do you have any symptoms? Why were these tests done? Your symptoms, if you have any, are not due to pancreatitis but there could still be other pancreatic lesions.
It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor. Wish you good health!
