I forgot to add that if this test was done in-house, it could have just been a lipase level. In-house results are definitely faster, but not complete enough information to accurately diagnosis. To do a full SPEC cPL, it needs to have these four levels measured: cPL, TLI, Folate and Cobalimine. These four are equally important numbers and if the cPL is abnormal, you still need to know the others for a complete diagnosis as those numbers can change the dianogsis from pancreatitis to many other things. If it is really something else and just treated for pancreatitis, you're going to continue to have issue after rissue after issue.
