Question 1

how to lower high lipace level?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: If over weight, lose weight. Eat more fish and much less red meat. Get exercise like walking every day if possible. Most important see your family physician who will do a complete physical, blood tests and possibly refer you to a nutritionist. There are medicines like statins that we prescribe but you must be under the care of a physician. There is no "magic bullet". It takes a change in life.

Question 2

my lipaise test results came back 450  what else could be wrong?

Accepted Answer

Pancreatitis: What are your symptoms and what is the 
amylase level
do you drink alcohol in excess, do you have abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting.
You may have acute pancreatitis and if it is so you need to be treated asap
it may be from drinking too much alcohol or from gall bladder disease.

Question 3

can someone lace your cigarette with something, how would you know?

Accepted Answer

Only if it: Was rolled by someone and you probably would not know. Best is not to smoke!!!

Question 4

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 5

what does having a high lipase mean?

Accepted Answer

Pancreatitis: High serum levels of lipase, at about three times the upper limit of normal, is usually associated with pancreatitis.

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

is a lipase lvl of 360 units of normal range?

Accepted Answer

No: The level is higher than normal. You may consult this site for information on this topic: https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/003465.htm

Question 8

what could cause strange pain on the lilac crest?

Accepted Answer

Iliac crest pain: Several possiblities:adhesions/scar tissue, tight muscles which attach to the crest, minor tendon tears along the crest, pelvic shearing which causes abnormal pelvic functn and thus abnormal muscle/ligament tensions, lumbar vertebral dysf, quadratus lumborum muscle imbalance & more.A good history & phys incl osteopathic hands-on exam should shed light on cause & osteopathic manipulation may fix it.

Question 9

chronic lipase elevation.  negative eus. possible causes?

Accepted Answer

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 10

how come i feel worse after i've had 2 hemorhoids ligated?

Accepted Answer

It will get better: Some pain after ligation is not unusual and most patients get better in a few days.  If your pain continues to worsen, check with your doctor.
