Blood amylase and lipase levels are most frequently drawn to diagnose pancreatitis. When the pancreas is inflamed, increased blood levels of the pancreatic enzymes called amylase and lipase will result. The normal lipase level is 12-70 U/L.Normal values may vary from laboratory to laboratory. Causes of hyperlipasemia (high lipase levels) may include: 1  Pancreatitis-also known as inflammation of the pancreas, can cause amylase and lipase levels to be increased up to 3 times normal.2  Both values should be increased, in order to carry the diagnosis of pancreatitis.ormal values may vary from laboratory to laboratory. Causes of hyperlipasemia (high lipase levels) may include: 1  Pancreatitis-also known as inflammation of the pancreas, can cause amylase and lipase levels to be increased up to 3 times normal.
Scientists do not give a single number, which precisely represents the norm of cholesterol level in the blood. But still they state that normal ranges are: 1) Total Cholesterol: less than 200 mg/dL. 2) LDL: 100 mg/dL to 129 mg/dL. 3) HDL: more than 40 mg/dL. 4) Triglycerides: 100 mg/dL to 150 mg/dL.
