Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My doctor says I had a slightly higher Lipase level after doing a blood test because I had cramps and pain in my back? The pains and discomfort have gone. A Sonogram showed my gall bladder, liver etc as clear. what does this mean and what should i do next.
Nothing to worry if you do NOT have any symptoms now. Currently, if you still have the pain, you have a amylaseblood test and a CT scan to rule out a pancreatic lesion.
Hope to answer your concern. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wish you good health.
Regards, Dr. Tayyab Malik
