You are going to have to get this resolved expeditiously. Do not pass go. Do not collect two hundred dollars. Death is forever. You have a life-threatening condition that cannot be resolved by an internet bulleten board consultation.  A hospital has to treat you under the Hill-Burton Act, which you should cite when dealing with the registration clerk. If he doesn't know what that is see the hospital administrator and remind him that a violation of the care mandated by this act is a violation of the U.S. code and is grounds for cesation of federal funding for his institution.

Hello,

There are three causes of elevated lipase;they are gastroenteritis,pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer.Elevated lipase and enlarged liver is found only in pancreatic cancer.Pls consult a gastroenterologist and oncologist as soon as possible.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing.
