Elevated amylase and lipase but pancreas appears normal. Thoughts?
So this tuesday 10/22/19 i took my mom to have routine blood work done and they had order a amylase and lipase which amylase came back at 114 and lipase came back at 76, went for a ct with contrast on friday came back with a large hital hernia and that the pancreas appears normal. Mom has bad increase in generilized fatigue weight loss nausea vomiting night swaets and her brother recently passed away from pancratic cancer i am afaird to just let the pancreas appearing normal to just go like that i am concerned thay it might just be on the beginning stages of something underlining going on. What should i do from here does any one have recommendation in testing i should request to have done. Please any one that can give me some advice i would be greatful
Sincerely a very concerned daughter

What does your doctor say about the lipase and amylase levels and any implications?
She may send me for a special test. But not sure what it will be yet.
I will post when I hear from her soon.
