What does a low result mean?
A low number carries no adverse health consequence and requires no intervention.
What does a high result mean?
A slight elevation frequently originates from salivary glands (stress, minor mouth irritation, dental care) rather than the pancreas.
Questions ready for your doctor
Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:
- Could minor salivary irritation or dental work account for this result?
- Does my lipase level confirm a peaceful pancreas?
- Does this require any specific clinical follow-up?
Do you have a full blood test report?
