I'm hoping someone can help me with this! I'm trying to understand which labs would be abnormal in patients with pancreatitis.

Laboratory Tests
With pancreatitis, the following laboratory tests may be abnormal:
Liver enzymes: Elevated levels of liver enzymes, such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), may indicate pancreatitis.
Aminotransferase: This enzyme is used to measure the amount of liver damage.
Amylase: This enzyme helps to break down carbohydrates. Elevated levels of amylase in the blood can indicate pancreatitis.
Lipase: This enzyme helps to break down fat. Elevated levels of lipase in the blood can indicate pancreatitis.
Bilirubin: Bilirubin is a byproduct of the breakdown of red blood cells. Elevated levels of bilirubin in the blood can indicate pancreatitis.
White blood cell count: An elevated white blood cell count can indicate inflammation in the body, which may be due to pancreatitis.
