A member asked:
Can there be a delay in lipase levels from gastroenteritis, for example, i just had gastroenteritis and now a few days after my lipase is at 600?

All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, why was the test done? If you do not have abdominal pain, you may watch and wait and repeat the test in 2-3 weeks. Wish you good health!

How long does it take lipase and amylase to go down? Are my numbers normal? Two weeks ago has gastroenteritis both liver and pancreas were high, lipase was at 242 then to 570 then dropped to 510 now 10 days later lipase at 151 amylase at 141?
Is lipase or 151 and amylase of 142 very high? Should I be concerned? Doctor said my raised levels were due to gastroenteritis but how can this be? Are the levels very high?
If I had acute pancreatitis without pain (just high blood levels of lipase and amylase) due to gastroenteritis and COVID, do I have to worry about recurrent acute pancreatitis or chronic pancreatitis or no because my bout was caused by an infection?
Am I at risk for recurrent or chronic pancreatitis if mine was triggered by gastroenteritis? (No pain just had high lipase and amylase from the stomach virus) or no because mine was not due to alcohol? If so, can I drink when levels are normal?
Lipase went from 249 to 600 in 2 days, but no symptoms all better just got over gastroenteritis. What do I do? Should I go to the ER?
