A member asked:
How long does lipase and amylase take to normalize? tests a few weeks back were high (lipase over 500 but amylase not tested) few weeks later now are still slightly high with lipase 152 and amylase 140?

It depends on the underlying pathological process. Elevation due to mild inflammation would subside in a few days. Acute pancreatitis levels may take a couple of weeks, unless a pseudocyst develops. Why were these tests done. It is better to talk to the doctor who ordered the tests as s/he knows more about your health,
