Decreased glomerular filtration rate <50 mL/min is described as a cause of elevated serum

In this article, a patient diagnosed as JBS in the neonatal period and who was followed with
pancreatic enzymes, vitamin and nutrition supplements as well as rehabilitation therapy without any problems, is presented.
The
pancreatic enzymes were also elevated (Amylase-548 f/l and Lipase-415 [micro]/l), whereas renal function tests and hemogram were both normal.
During the therapy, each day you will need to drink 20lbs (about 9kg) of crushed fruit and vegetables, have three or four coffee enemas and take potassium and other supplements, including vitamin B12,

The diagnosis is most commonly based upon characteristic history of acute abdomen accompanied with rise in levels of
pancreatic enzymes namely amylase and lipase in serum.
In patients with pancreaticobiliary junction abnormality, reflux of bile to the pancreatic duct, and bile stasis in the distal bile duct may activate
pancreatic enzymes and result in pancreatitis.
He was compliant with
pancreatic enzymes. He endorsed excellent dietary calcium intake, and his 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) level was at goal 57ng/mL on cholecalciferol 3000IU daily.
