Hi Im am worried sick about my pancreas. I have had elevated amaylse level for over 10 years now. just got results today 24-124 is normal mine is 239 lipase 7-60 is normal mine is 20 i feel like crap does it point to pancrease HELP MY MIND PLS IM STRESSED and SCARE about the pancreas something bad
dear elevated amylase caused by pancreatic and non pancreatic problem. you know pancreatitis may cause hypeamylesemia. but non pancreatic problems like salivary gland swelling, ectopic pregnancy,appendicitis,diabetic Ketoacidosis, renal problems,alcohol use,mums,inflammatory bowel disease,malignancy of breast,lung, kidney etc..
nothing to worry,sometimes it may be due to idiopathic please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly . I think I answered to your question if you have more questions feel free to ask.
take care
