A member asked:

I had gad test during active pancreatitis. result was 113. can pancreatitis elevate gad results. i have recent diagnosis of type 1.5 diabetes due to that

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't think so: Anti-gad antibodies are seen in a variety of autoimmune neurologic disorders including stiff-man (moersch-woltman) syndrome, autoimmune cerebellitis, brain stem encephalitis, etc... Anti-gad is the major pancreatic islet antibody, a marker for type 1 diabetes. Anti-gad is seen with autoimmune thyroid disease, pernicious anemia, etc... Haven't heard of pancreatitis causing anti-gad.
