Pancreatitis blood lipids
Common Questions and Answers about Pancreatitis blood lipids
pancreatitis
Hi,
Hyperlipidemia is increased fats or lipids in the bloodstream. Fatty molecules are transported in a protein capsule, and the density of the lipids and type of protein determines the fate of the particle and its influence on metabolism. This condition may be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease or acute pancreatitis. You can read ore about this through this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlipidemia
Take care and regards.
10 days ago I went to the urgent care because of constipation and a pain on my lower left side. They took blood tests and prescribed me with miralx. I went home and that night took my temp 99.4 and thought that was a fever. They set me up for a ct scan and told me I had pancreatitis? I went to norwood urgent care and they hooked me to a IV and that was that . I have not had any pain or vominting, lost weight becausebof liquid diet and anxiety.
1. Steroids, mumps, Epstein Barr Virus and Cytomegalovirus, Lupus and other immune diseases, very high calcium, lipids and triglycerides, drugs: sulfa drugs, steroids, NSAID use, diuretics, duodenal ulcer, diabetic drugs especially Byetta.
The drugs could be a problem for both the pancrease and liver too. If you have been taking Byetta for diabetis it is very important to get treatment for that right away.
I would say there is cause for concern but you are getting it checked out.
There is a theory that HDL quality is as important if not more important than the amount. There is good HDL and bad HDL. The good HDL helps remove damaged LDL. If there is too much of the bad HDL then it no longer protects you and actually helps cause heart disease. To analyze requires getting an "expanded lipid profile" to learn the particle size and number of your HDL cholesterol molecules.
I recently had a bout of acute pancreatitis that resolved in about 2-3 days. I had been eating a pretty high fat diet for a few days and was taking tylenol 3 for a dental procedure. AP was verified via CT w/contrast but my panc enzymes remained normal throughout the attack. I am concerened that the attack may be a sign of a cronic conditon due to my previous history of alchohol. The CT scan did not show anything other than the hazy pancreas, impression pancreatitis.
Get your serum calcium and lipid profile done to see if high calcium and lipids are a cause of pancreatitis. For more information please refer: http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/pancreatitis/
Hope this helps. Do let me know if there is any thing else and keep me posted. Take care!
I was told about a year ago that my liver lipids are higher than they should be and my mom and sister also have both had their gallbladders removed. I have been having a lot of diarrhea, indigestion, and pain in my back on the right in the middle. It's sort of a dull ache and can feel sharp at times. Could this be related to my liver or my gall bladder? I don't really have any pain in my stomach just my back.
He got sent to a specialist (great doc!) They have done all sorts of blood tests including a blood test for pancreatic cancer (thankfully negative) and the MRCP with no success. He has none of the prerequisites for pancreantitis. We were told that in 30% of the cases there is no reason and can go away on it's own (bad news is because a cause is never found it can come back too).
My mother in her 50s has gotten a few blood tests done recently, that showed GGT varying from the 60s to 100s. A blood test right before this rise showed normal GGT but high serum creatine (it was high enough that if it was used to estimate glomerular filtration, it would have indicated renal failure). Since creatine was so high, she got another test right after to make sure, and the levels returned to completely normal but her GGT levels were elevated.
What does this mean? How can the heart rate be too low yet the blood presure be too high and high tricerides?
What can this cause? What can cause such a condition, diet, lack of exersice? Can this be fixed?
I have never had an abnormal blood test but this time it seems like so much is out of range. All of these are out of range, (some by a lot). WBC 3.5, Segmented Neutrpphils 39, Lymphocytes 50, Absolute Neutrophil 1.4, Alkaline Phosphatase 36, NMR Lipoprofile w/lipids 1671, B12 is at 1621. My HDL is normal range 96, my HDL also normal range 84. What can all of this mean?
Hi-
I’m new here, and concerned regarding my latest results after IF (20 hours per day) since 3 month – Feel very good and lost weight!! BUT blood work shows the following ————- (40 + Male,)

CHOLESTEROL 175
TRIGLYCERIDES 86
HDL CHOLESTEROL 33
TOTAL CHOL/HDL RATIO 5.3
VLDL CHOLESTEROL (CALC) 17
LDL CHOLESTEROL (CALC) 125
NON-HDL CHOLESTEROL (CALC) 142
OCT 2018 (after stating IF) weight 173

HDL CHOL.
My chocolate lab "Skip" is about 10 years old and developed pancreatitis for the first time. We took him to the doctor he never vomited or diahrea until the day after he got to the vets office. His amalyse was high like 8000 and his glucose and white blood count low but we got an ultrasound to make sure not cancer. He started to show improvements with the IV and antibiotic. Now a week later he is starting to decline and the vet has tried everything.
Ask your doctor to do a blood test for amylase & lipase levels.
I am not familiar with diverculitis but I do know elevated lipsase and amylase is a sign of pancreatitis which can come from many things like meds, cystic fibrosis, genetics, alcohol, or high tryglicerides. Did you dr mention this?
My husband recently got back test results with high "lipids". He has been taking fish oils. Can this raise the overall lipids? Also, he ate ice cream the day before the test...can this affect the result so much?
