A member asked:
Hi there! i just had a pancreatic enzyme test done and the results are low on amylase and lipase (amylase 10 units, and lipase 3 units). i had an abdominal ct scan and ultrasound performed, but everything appeared normal. should i be concerned?

Why the tests?: Do you have any symptoms? Why were these tests done? Your symptoms, if you have any, are not due to pancreatitis but there could still be other pancreatic lesions. It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor. Wish you good health!
