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.

Q: what do you suggest if my lipase level is 29 u/l the standard range of that blood test is <=58 does this mean my lipase is low or normal?

Normal: 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. Having said that, your lipase level is normal. Lipase levels below the "normal" limit are not abnormal.

Q: my lipase was too high after having a pancreas blood test. what does that mean?

Lipase: It may mean inflamation of the pancreas, inflamation of pancreas may come from alcohol abuse, infection, tumor or too much fat( hypertriglyceridemia) in the blood stream.

Q: can you have pancreatitis with normal blood test levels? or will lipase and amylase be elevated? how would it be diagnosed?

Amylase and: lipase are elevated in pancreatitis. If the blood levels of these enzymes are normal, you do not have panreatitis. See this site for more info. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pancreatitis/basics/definition/con-20028421

Q: 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?

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

Q: recently had pancreatitis. my lipase has been wacky since may 31.but everything else is normal blood wise.will i get into gi 2mrw or will gi tell me go 2 er.supposed 2 c gi the 24th.having symptoms?

Daily monitoring: of lipase does not correlate with disease. If your are asymptomatic most likely your GI will evaluate prior to determine need for intervention

Question 1

my lipase blood test is 7, is this a concern?

Accepted Answer

No: Blood lipase level of 7 is no cause for concern.

Question 2

had a lipase blood test done and the results were 98 (reference interval is 14-72). i did not fast before the test. is a level of 98 a cause for concern? if a person does not fast before a lipase test can it affect the results of the test?

Accepted Answer

Question 3

all other blood work normal but lipase level is 1691???

Accepted Answer

A problem: elevated lipase is usually quite specific for inflammation of the pancreas from either a gallstone, alcohol or a mass. close follow up with your doctor is recomended

Question 4

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

Question 8

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