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.
Triglycerides are fats that can cause the narrowing of the arteries if too much of it has accumulated in the blood. The lipid profile normal values for triglyceride are 150 mg per dl and below.Having 200 mg per dl of triglyceride level makes the person more prone to having atherosclerosis. Knowing the lipid profile normal values and doing the necessary steps to keep to these desirable values will help in averting heart diseases. 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.
