A member asked:
My gastro diagnosed me with chronic asymptomatic pancreatic hyperenzymemia after clear ct scan and mrcp. they say it's benign. should i get more test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually no: Benign vs. Not controversy the doctor treats chronic pancreatitis by relieving pain and managing the nutritional and metabolic problems. The patient can reduce the amount of fat and protein lost in stools by cutting back on dietary fat and taking pills containing pancreatic enzymes. This will result in better nutrition and weight gain. Sometimes Insulin or other drugs given to control the pts.

For years i've had lipase elevations, fluctuations, w/ normalization. I'm completely asymptomatic and findings were incidental. Mrcp, ct, normal. Does this mean future pancreas problems like ap, cp, c?
Incidentally found high lipase numbers, fluctuates to normal to high. Ct scans contrast, upper gi, ultrasound. Recent mrcp normal. Asymptomatic, no fam history. All 4 gastros say benign condition.
For years fluctuating elevated lipase (1-2x out of range to normal, sometimes mild) normal amylase. Ct & mrcp normal. No pain or nausea. Gastro says benign, wont approve eus or ercp. 2nd opinion?
What can cause fluctuation in lipase serum from asymptomatic person? MRCP, CT scans, autoimmune, celiac all neg. EUS recommend? Lipase elevation found incidentally 4 yrs ago. Test ED over 10x @ labs
If MRCP & CT scan with contrast were clear of Pancreatic Cancer, what are chances EUS can find Pancreatic Cancer? Are odds on my side with clear MRCP?
