A member asked:
Chronic lipase elevation. negative eus. possible causes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ignore it: Some people's lipase always runs high, and if the amylase is normal and there's nothing else to suggest pancreatitis on imaging or maldigestion / pancreatic insufficiency clinically, this is probably a false lead.
