Hi, I have pancolitis and am having bad stomach cramping, bloating in the abdomen, nausea, vomiting, extreme fatigue, and loss of appetite. Had an ultrasound and it was unremarkable but my blood work showed a lipase of 230 and low liver enzymes. I m not sure what this means and was informed my liver and or pancreas could be having problems because of the pancolitis. What s your opinion and what could this mean for me?
Hi thanks for asking questioned you have raised serum lipase. So yes liver and pancreatic disease has to be investigated. Simply first you can do your USG abdomen. It might show findings related to pancreatitis. It can also reveal any liver pathology if present.LFT also can be done if needed.it will rule out Possibility of hepatitis.Meanwhile, here you have to rest your GI tract if pancreatitis.Otherwise, semisolid diet can be taken. With more fruits. Chat Doctor.
