Guest guest Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 if you want a primary source for non elevation of pancreatic enzymes (amylase and lipase), go to the Hopkin's GI website. Here's the link to the Chronic pancreatitis section to the page you want. In the Diagnosis section, under Biochemical measurements, it says that with chronic pancreatitis, the enzymes can be low, normal or elevated. http://www.hopkins-gi.org/pages/latin/templates/index.cfm?pg=disease3 & organ=4 & di\ sease=24 & lang_id=1 & pagetype=10 & pagenum=254 It's a long link, so if the link wraps, it may lose the tail end of the text. If this occurs, just retype all of the text into the browser and it will bring you there or just go to the main website: http://hopkins-gi.org/ and do a search on chronic pancreatitis. Select any of the links to the chronic pancreatitis section. The Chronic pancreatitis menu will be on the right of the title (the purple bar on to the right of the section title). You won't see it initially, but if you roll your cursor over it, it will pop down. Kimber -- Kimber Vallejo, CA hominid2@...
