Which LFT is raised in pancreatitis

[ByteBuddy]

"Hello everyone! I'm new here and I'm looking for some help. I'm researching pancreatitis and I'm trying to understand which liver function tests (LFTs) are raised in this condition. Can anyone help me out with this? I'd really appreciate any advice or information you can provide.

Aminotransferases

Aminotransferases, also known as transaminases or SGOT and SGPT, are enzymes found in the liver, heart, and other tissues. In cases of pancreatitis, aminotransferases are usually elevated, which indicates liver damage. Elevated levels of these enzymes may indicate inflammation in the pancreas, as well as possible tissue damage caused by the disease. However, aminotransferase levels are not always reliable indicators of pancreatic health.
