Values given for the lipase was up to 51.

I just did the normal medical test along with other tests. This was ok when I did my regular medical test last month. Why is the reason of this has increased in one month.

Brief Answer:
Insignificant

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
As mentioned in my previous post it is not significant.
We consider it significant only if it raises more than two folds the normal value.
So in your case if it was more than 100 (Lab ref is 51), we could have considered it significant.

In your case we can just ignore it.

Regards,
Dr.R.K.
