Noticed Frequent Urination And Lipase Increased From 412 To 458 After Removal Of Tumour
my husband had surgery 4 weeks ago on a tumor that was removed from his kidney. He had some complications after surgery and came up with an ileus. He was very ill and dehydrated. Most of that has passed now. Some problems now that he is having are a puff of air or gas passing after urinating. He also feels the urge to urinate more often now. We also got some blood work back and his lipase increased from 412 to 458. should that be any big concern for us? Thank You Lori

Hi, welcome to HCM.
Looking to your husband's history, I would like to advise you to check for injury to pancreas.
Pancreatitis can raise S.lipase level.
Check basic urine report, CBC, S. creatinine and do CT scan.
Then consult gastroenterologist or you can communicate with me also with reports.
I think this would be helpful to you.
Best wishes. TC.
