A member asked:

My lipase is 61u/l when the reference range is 13-60. is this a problem???

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: If your doctor suspects that there is any problem with your pancreas then they may want to repeat it but if this was just found in routine labs then I would just ignore it. Slight levels outside of the range rarely mean that there is a problem.

Nausea for 1.5mo, doc ordered serum amylase (normal at 40 U/L) & lipase, which was borderline low at 11 U/L (8-78 U/L reference range). Suggestive of chronic pancreatitis? Info online unclear about significance of borderline low lipase. Thanks?

Have had slightly elevated lipase levels twice over past 8 months (80 and then 61 - reference range to 60). Drink very rarely. Never had acute pancreatitis. Have recently had a normal ct scan. What would cause these abnormal levels?

Amylase was 208 U/L (ref range 31-110) and lipase was 253 U/L (ref range 13-78). CT of pancreas was normal but have symptoms like nausea, fatty stools, fatigue and weight loss with extreme thirst. Could it be chronic pancreatitis instead of acute?
