The Lipase and amylase are extremely high; in addition, the LFTs and total bili are elevated , which also point to pancreatitis along with liver disease. The low albumin level might be decreased with inflammation, stress, or liver disease (the elevated WBCs also reflect inflammation). You want to monitor the amylase and lipase, why? Her BUN and creatinine reflect what?
Homework Answers
Amylase is a digestive enzyme which acts on the starch in food breaking it into smaller carbohydrates. There are two types of amylase one is salivary amylase in saliva and the other one is pancreatic amylase.
Lipase is a digestive enzyme which acts on the fat molecules breaking it into fatty acids and glycerol.
As pancreas produce both enzymes for effective digestion, when there is pancreatitis the enzyme levels are raised to tackle the abnormal digestive process.
Monitoring BUN and Creatinine is very important in pancreatitis to understand the working of kidneys. Leukocytosis is often seen in cases of pancreatitis. Additionally, third spacing of fluids around peripancreatic region can lead to dehydration which results in elevated BUN and Creatinine and hemoconcentration.
