A member asked:
Admitted to hospital and diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis 9:27/15. lipase level checked today and is normal. so why is pain/nausea still really bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflammation: Its best to check with the doctor treating you but inflammation usually takes several days to get better in uncomplicated pancreatitis and lags the drop in lipase that can be seen.
