A member asked:

What can i do if my husband has pancreatitis. his enzyme level was over 1000 today. what is it supposed to be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ask his doctor/nurse: The doctor whom he saw is supposed to address this question, if you asked! but the normal levels of amylase or lipase are under 100 normally(they can tell you the reference range of normal values) . But his level is quite high right now.
