actually the blood work didnt include amylase nor lipase
he said he doesnt depend on those values
instead he did the TLI (trypsin like immunoreact) and it was 25 (range 5-35); so that shows normal exocrine pancreatic function
he tested spec cpl it was 166 (anything less than 200) that shows concentration is normal
he also tested her cobalamin b-12 and folate and they were normal
her blood work is mostly clean; except for these (anyone knows what they mean)
HGB and HCT was a bit high
lymphocytes was high 40% (range 12-30%) maybe she needed antibiotic after all
Eosinophil and neutrophil were low
absolute lymphocyte were normal 3360 (range 1000-4800)
absolute eosinophil is low 84 (range 100-1250)
her biopsy result states:
the endoscopic biopsies of the duodenal mucosa contain diffuse infiltrates of lymphocytes and plasma cells throughout the lamina propria of the intestinal villi. the villi are somewhat thicker than normal and blunted as a consequence of the inflammatory infiltrates. the surface epithelium of the villi is intact and there no evidence of erosion, ulceration or neoplasia. the microscopic findings in the small intestinal mucosa are consistent with a moderately severe, diffuse lypmhoplasmacytic enteritis, i.e.. a chronic, idiopathic, inflammatory bowel disease.
