Question 1 of 5

A physician suspects a patient may have pancreatitis. Which of the following tests would be most appropriate to diagnose this condition?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale:
To diagnose pancreatitis, testing amylase and lipase levels is crucial. Amylase and lipase are enzymes produced by the pancreas that help digest carbohydrates and lipids. In pancreatitis, these enzymes are released in high amounts into the bloodstream due to pancreatic inflammation or damage. Elevated levels of amylase and lipase in blood tests strongly indicate pancreatitis.
Choice A, CK and Troponin, are cardiac markers used in diagnosing heart conditions like myocardial infarction, not pancreatitis.
Choice B, BUN and Creatinine, are kidney function tests, not specific to pancreatitis.
Choice D, HDL and LDL Cholesterol Levels, are lipid profile tests used to assess cardiovascular health, not for diagnosing pancreatitis.
