Elevated amylase and lipase but pancreas appears normal. Thoughts?

Hi Louise
Glad your back home & had a nice trip. I am praying for you. I am still not feeling well but am fighting this. My blood pressure is starting to elevate & I am on Losartan 25 low dose but it is on the rise. I am wondering if certain medications can cause it to go up. If it continues I will have to call my Cardiologist. I am not a diabetic & they have no idea why the lipase is going up. In a couple of weeks I go back for the repeat of the test & I hope & pray it has not gone up more. I still think my problem stems from the last surgery I had. The small bowel was injured & I had to have 2 stitches so I don't know if this has anything to do with it. All I know is that I am loaded with adhesions that can not be removed so that might be part of the problem.
Well Louise keep in touch & keep me posted.
Have a good day.
God Bless
Genie

My lipase was elevated also, but not my Amylase. I researched it a lot, and everything said Lipase is the one that digests fat. That is why I had to go on pancreatic enzymes. I wasn't digesting my food, especially fats. Did you lose weight, or do you have a lot of stools with greasy film. My blood pressure also went up when I developed pancreatitis. Never had a blood pressure problem before. What is your neuropathy from? Usually it's from high blood sugar destroying your nerve endings. Praying for your future bloodwork and that you feel better.
