A member asked:
How is it that lipase is elevated when no pancreatic disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No other causes: Of lipase elevation except pancreatitis. You probably had a mild case that went away before you had the test, because it takes several days to a week for lipase test to return to normal.
