     The diagnosis of acute pancreatitis (AP) is defined as a constellation of abnormal pancreatic enzymes, imaging, and characteristic pain. The origin and clinical significance of isolated hyperlipasemia is unclear. […] Elevated serum lipase level has many nonpancreatic origins, with liver and renal failure being the most frequent.
