A member asked:
I had abdominal pain. vomitted for 2 times. got hospitalized. elevated lipase level 111. doc says its pancreatitis, but i had doubt. maybe its not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pancreatitis: Yes, it could be a pancreatitis. Alcohol consumption , gallbladder stones with obstruction of the pancreatic duct are some of the causes. Amylase and lipase levels will be increased in pancreatitis. Your doctor may order US or CT of your abdomen to diagnose the gallbladder or pancreas diseases.

Elevated amylase but normal lipase & normal abdominal CT scan. Does this rule out pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer? Why would amylase be elevated?
