Hello,
1) Serum Lipase of 1123 is a concern.
2) Symptom of pain in abdomen + back, high Lipase level indicate possibility of chronic pancreatitis.
It is a condition of pancreas in which structural changes happen into it in term of fibrosis and this lead to obstruction of pancreatic duct, stone formation in pancreatic duct.
3) Most common cause for it is alcohol, very high level of cholesterol, migrated gall bladder stone in pancreatic duct, structural abnormality in pancreas
