A member asked:
Can my general doctor give me a blood test to show amylase and lipase levels? or, do i need to see another specialist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why do these?: Amylase and lipase levels are generally uses to diagnose pancreatitis. Your general doctor can order those, but unless you have severe abdominal pain, the test is not warranted.
