Why is lipase high?
The possible reasons are mainly as follows:

1, acute pancreatitis, the continuous increase 10 ~ 15 days.

2. Pancreatic cancer and cholangitis often increase.

3. When adipose tissue is destroyed, such as fracture and soft tissue injury, it can be slightly increased after operation.

4. Individual patients with chronic pancreatitis, liver cancer and breast cancer have also increased.

5, pancreatic juice stasis, renal insufficiency, pancreatic injury, perforated peritonitis and pancreatic duct resistance and other diseases, will also cause lipase to increase.

6, common bile duct stones or cancer, intestinal obstruction, duodenal perforation, etc. Sometimes it leads to an increase in lipase.

Extended data

Pancreas is the main source of human lipase. Elevated serum lipase is common in acute pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer, and occasionally in chronic pancreatitis. In acute pancreatitis, serum amylase increased for a short time, while serum lipase activity increased for 10 ~ 15 days. When parotitis does not involve the pancreas, lipase is usually within the normal range. In addition, choledocholithiasis or cancer, intestinal obstruction, duodenal perforation, etc. Sometimes it can be increased.
