All i can think of is the high association of Pancreatitis with gallstones & oftentimes these stones lodges in the urinary system......

Hi Kerochi
I have just checked the harison, the high level in serum for first 48 hours due to the membrane damage of pancreatic cell
The high level in urine for a couple of days later is due to the increased renal clearance of amylase & lipase
