A critical evaluation of serum lipase and amylase as diagnostic tests for acute pancreatitis
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 objective criteria available at the bedside at the time of initial presentation. It is important to understand the physiology and biochemistry of these tests in order to get a clear grasp of their diagnostic utility. Lipa...
متن کاملSerum lipase activity is increased in disease states other than acute pancreatitis: amylase revisited.
For more than 50 years, total serum amylase activity has been the biochemical test most commonly used to confirm the clinical diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. Serum amylase activity has been hoisted onto this pedestal by default, because until recently it has been the only reproducible and rapid diagnostic assay available in clinically emergent settings. As a result of our longstanding dependen...

متن کاملCombined serum amylase and lipase determinations for diagnosis of suspected acute pancreatitis.
Serum amylase and lipase measurements are often used to diagnose acute pancreatitis. This study addresses the question of whether it is advantageous to order serum amylase and lipase tests simultaneously. We evaluated performance of the two tests separately and in combination through a retrospective study of patients for whom both amylase and lipase determinations were ordered. Initial analysis...
متن کاملAcute pancreatitis with normal serum lipase: a case series.
CONTEXT Acute pancreatitis is diagnosed on the basis of clinical features, biochemical tests and imaging studies. Normal serum amylase level has been reported in the setting of acute pancreatitis but normal serum lipase level in acute pancreatitis is extremely rare. CASE REPORT Herein, we present a case series of acute pancreatitis with normal serum lipase levels along with a review of the to...
