Serum amylase activity in liver disease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Serum amylase activity was measured in 15 normal persons and in 60 liverdisease patients. Impairment of liver was assessed by serum bilirubin and thymol turbidity values. Most of the patients had serum amylase values that were well below the normal limits. Amylase activities were related to the degree of liver dysfunction, and serum amylase decreased as the bilirubin and turbidity values increased.

Amylase activity in human bile.
The mean amylase level in 42 human bile samples was 154 IU/l and there was no significant difference in the amylase activity of 32 paired serum and bile samples. Estimation of the amylase thermolability of bile showed it to be similar to that of serum. This suggests that the amylase activity in bile may have filtered through the liver from the hepatic circulation rather than refluxed from the p...
متن کاملReinterpretation of hyperamylasemia in diabetic coma.
Serum enzyme activity was sequentially determined in 10 consecutive patients with diabetic ketoacidosis, of whom all had increased -glucuronidase activity, eight had increased amylase activity, and four had increased acid phosphatase activity. Activity of amylase and that of the two lysosomal enzymes were poorly correlated, irrespective of whether peak activities or activities of all samples we...
متن کاملLiver Amylase. Iii. Synthesis by the Perfused Liver and Secretion into the Perfusion Medium.
The presence of ar-amylase in liver tissue has been reported previously by several investigators (l-3). In the liver from rats deprived of food, the enzyme is found primarily in the microsomal fraction (4) whereas in fed animals a considerable proportion is bound to glycogen (5). In perfused liver systems, amylase activity is secreted into the perfusion medium under conditions in which other en...
متن کاملDiagnostic use of pancreatic lipase determination by radial enzyme diffusion, and design of a routine pancreatic profile.
The differential diagnosis of diseases of the pancreas remains an acute problem area in medicine today. It can be stated with some certainty that no single test has the capability of 100% accuracy in the diagnosis of pancreatic disease, much less in the determination of the etiology of the condition. Basically, from the viewpoint of the clinical laboratory, inflammatory diseases of the pancreas...
متن کاملEvaluation of Antilipidperoxidation, Α-Amylase and Lipase Inhibitory Activity of Boswellia Ovalifoliolata Bal. Henry
The objective of the present study was to determine the antilipidperoxidation and in vitro α-amylase and lipase inhibitory activity of the Boswellia ovalifoliolata Bal Henry (BOB) extract. The polyphenolic compounds, flavonoids, and tannins content of the extracts were estimated by spectrophotometry. Antioxidant activity on goat liver lipid peroxidation and linoleic acid was d...
