Antibiotic resistance. For example, antibiotics are no longer routinely used to treat chest infections, ear infections in children and sore throats.
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.
As indicated by the U.S National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP), a triglyceride level below 150 mg/dL is regarded as ideal for adults. But, normal triglyceride levels may vary with your age and additional components may influence the numbers. A range between 150 and 200 mg/dL is considered borderline high.When your lipid panel shows a result between 200 and 499 mg/dL for triglycerides, this is a high level. 500 mg/dL and over is very high putting you at maximum risk of heart disease.aving high triglyceride levels or Hypertriglyceridemia is a more common health condition than you think as it affects over 33% of adults in USA. So, triglycerides are a global concern but this type of lipid or fat in our blood resulting from glycerol associated to three fatty acids is not well known.
