Acute pancreatitis is a rather common abdominal disorder. In most patients the disease is
mild, but about 20% of cases develop a severe necrotizing form of the disease with …

One of the earliest biochemical markers employed for the diagnosis of a particular disease
state was reported in 1916 by Stocks (1), who suggested that amylase activity in blood and …

Acute pancreatitis is an acute inflammatory condition of the pancreas, which might extend to
local and distant extrapancreatic tissues. The global incidence varies between 17.5 and …

Laboratory testing of serum amylase and/or lipase levels are central to the diagnosis of
acute pancreatitis (AP) as these tests are quick, cheap, reliable and perhaps the only …

The diagnosis of acute pancreatitis depends on a combination of clinical assessment and
laboratory testing. Although the serum amylase is the cornerstone laboratory test used in …

Background: The diagnosis of acute pancreatitis relies heavily on a raised amylase.
Methods: In the present study patients were prospectively categorized, without knowledge of …

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common disease associated with an improper activation of
pancreatic zymogens leading to autodigestion of the gland and if excessive--to multiple …

An enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for human pancreatic lipase was
compared, for diagnostic sensitivity, to a chromogenic assay of total plasma amylase in 37 …

Serum amylase remains the most commonly used biochemical marker for the diagnosis of
acute pancreatitis, but its sensitivity can be reduced by late presentation …
