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.
The lipid profile normal values for low density lipoprotein are 100 to 129 mg per dl. If the person has 130 to 189 mg per dl LDL, he/she is considered have high low density lipoprotein; but if the person has 190 mg per dl and above then the person has very high low density lipoprotein. Thus, when the cholesterol level is slightly above the lipid profile normal value then immediate management should be the focus to prevent it from going higher. 2  Having a cholesterol level of 240 mg per dl and above means that the person is at risk of developing heart diseases such as atherosclerosis.
