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.
PSA levels are measured in nanograms per millilitre of blood (ng/ml). Whether a PSA level is ânormalâ depends on the individual and their age. Cancer Research UK uses the following rough guide: 1  3 ng/ml or lower is considered in the normal range for a man under 60 years old.2  4 ng/ml or lower is normal for a man between 60 to 69 years old. 3  5 ng/ml or lower is normal for a man 70 years old and over.SA levels are measured in nanograms per millilitre of blood (ng/ml). Whether a PSA level is ânormalâ depends on the individual and their age. Cancer Research UK uses the following rough guide: 1  3 ng/ml or lower is considered in the normal range for a man under 60 years old.
