Hi am a 40 year old female who just had repeat blood work done almost a year to the date of my Gallbladder removal which was March of 2013. I never had any stones, just biliary colic. I know this because I had a CCK Hida scan showing my Gallbladder was functioning at 17% and CT scans/U/S showed no stones. I also had MRCP to see if there was any complications with my biliary ducts or system in general, exam was unremarkable. I guess what what my question is leading to is I just had repeat bloodwork done on 1/17/14 which showed lipase level at 81 and amylase at 91. My LFT s were normal too. I was told my Lipase is elevated and I would need a CT scan. I thought normal range of Lipase was from 13-160. I am very confused and very scared because the GI doc said normal Lipase range is 3-60. HELP!!!
Hi, there is no reason to worry. They probably wanted to make sure that nothing is wrong. Normal lipase levels are less than 120-140U/L. So your report is normal. don't worry. Hope this helped.
