What Do My LIPAS Test Results Indicate?

This means that the pancreas is inflamed
Detailed Answer:
Hi....the test is LIPASE....if this is elevated or out of range... this means that the pancreas is inflamed for some reason. This is called Pancreatitis.
But this doesn't mean that you have to panic. Ultimately it is the clinical condition of the kid which matters and not the test reports alone.
I have a few questions for you -
1. Is the pain excruciating and limiting his daily activities lie schooling etc?
2. Is the pain associated with vomiting and if so what colour?
3. Did he eat Tapioca recently?
4. Did he use any medication in the past 2 weeks?
5. How are his bowel movements?
Please get back with answers so that I can guide you further.
Regards - Dr. Sumanth
