Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Answer: D. Elevated lipase
Rationale: Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas that causes pancreatic enzymes to leak into the bloodstream and damage surrounding tissues. Lipase is one of these enzymes that is produced by the pancreas to digest fats. An elevated lipase level indicates pancreatic injury and is a diagnostic marker for acute pancreatitis. The other laboratory results are not specific to pancreatitis and could be caused by other conditions.
