A member asked:
My 22 month old son has cystic fibrosis. his lipase levels have been high since oct. his pulm redrew lab yesterday. what could be going on?

Wait to hear...: You should hear from the doctor. Pancreatic lipase may cause such elevation. It is hard to give an opinion with such little information. So please do not worry, but follow up with the specialist. There could be several reasons, for such labs. As long as he is stable, has no infections, and is on all maintenance medications he should be safe.
