i'm sorry you're feeling worried about this. let me see if i can help. first of all i'd strongly recommend you discuss your concerns with your doctor. he or she is in the best position to help get you on a course to lower your cholesterol and triglyceride numbers and get your blood sugar under better control. diet medications and a support group can all help in that effort. regarding the result of your lipase test specifically i'm not sure why a result of 90 would get flagged as high. usually the reference range for lipase runs between 10-40 units per liter (u/l) for adults under age 60 and between 18-180 u/l for adults over age 60. even if your lipase results are abnormally high i wouldn't jump right to a conclusion of cancer. several conditions can cause elevated lipase numbers including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) gallbladder problems and peptic ulcers -- just to name a few. your doctor is really the only person who can help you get an accurate diagnosis but i hope this response puts your mind at ease a bit. best wishes to you! my lipase levels were higher than that and it was because of gall stones. at first it felt like i had gas that wouldn't pass. i had my gall bladder removed and within 3 mos. i was back to normal.
my lipase levels are 90; outside the normal reference range for quest diagnostics. how concerned need i be? . i also have high cholesterol high triglycerides and 9. 9 a1c. my greatest fear is pancreatic cancer.
