Endoscopy ultrasound report says "few features of chronic pancreatitis but overall very non-specific." i've always been asymptomatic with incidental elevated lipase found 4 years ago.

Info needed: You have to work it up. Check to see if you have high cholesterol, especially triglycerides. Also check to see if you have gallstones. An MRCP ( type of MRI) can help see if you have structural issues causing chronic inflammation.
