[2025-09-25T11:15:30.656015] [PI reasoning] **Evaluating biomarkers for acute pancreatitis**

I’m considering whether serum pancreatic lipase should replace serum amylase as a biomarker for acute pancreatitis. I need to look at the medical literature to assess the diagnostic accuracy of lipase versus amylase. It seems like lipase may have higher sensitivity and specificity, and while many guidelines mention both, some suggest lipase could be more accurate. The answer likely leans towards “maybe,” indicating that both markers could be useful together or that lipase may be preferable. Let's confirm this.
