Don't Rx a lab value: Easy does it, buddy. As a pathologist, the most important thing I'd like to share about lab tests is that disease is diagnosed first and foremost by history and physical exam. About one person in 100 has a much-elevated amylase due to an antibody. You may have elevated lipase from this or some other factor delaying its clearance. Give thanks for good health and forget the whole business.
