A member asked:
Can 19% gallbladder ejection fraction lead to elevated levels of amylase/lipase? no stones/sludge found; problem started while pregnant but persists.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
GB Ejection Fraction: Its not usual to have amylase and lipase elevation unless there is stasis (slow flow) of pancreatic juice. Low ejection fraction of gall bladder (GB) alone does not explain elevation of these pancreatic enzymes.
