What Causes Elevated Amylase And Lipase Level?
What would cause an elevated amylase and lipase, that has almost doubled in about 4 days, with a normal CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis? My husband has had two episodes of severe abdominal pain during eating or immediately following with some diarrhea, but the pain doesn t last longer than 10 minutes.

Hello,
The symptoms are clearly related to pancreas issue and probably pancreatitis. You may need to do a fibroscopy to help you better through diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
