Blood Work Results

[abavaro08]

Hello. I'm a 52 year old male and I recently had bloodwork done and the following was detected to be out of range:

blood sugar - 104
amylase - 128
lipase - 83

What are possible causes of this and is this something I need to be concerned about?

Thanks.

So, your blood sugar is JUST outside of normal. Normal range for an adult male is 70 to 100. Your amylase is elevated (range goes to 110 for normal). This is usually related to the pancreas. Have you had pancreatitis lately? Peptic ulcer? Issues with your colon? I guess I'm asking if you've had any symptoms and maybe this is why you got your blood work done. Even alcohol use can cause an increase in this. Many reasons could be the culprit. Not to mention IBS. So, if you are having gi issues, it's not unusual for this to be elevated. Your lipase is in the normal range.

Did your doctor call you back for these results? Are you being treated for anything?
