Background: Serum amylase has a short biological half-life and returns to normal levels within time. Thus it’s quite conflicting in the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis, particularly patients with mild pancreatitis. Therefore, present study investigates urinary pancreatitis.Methods: The prospective was conducted on 100 patients, 50 pancreatitis subjects departments General Surgery our surgical h...

Acute pancreatitis is one of the major complications of ERCP. It is of paramount importance that we accurately identify which patients will go on to develop post-ERCP pancreatitis. As most ERCPs are performed on an outpatient basis, early evaluation can allow safe discharge of the majority of patients who will not develop post-ERCP pancreatitis or develop only mild symptoms that will be self-li...

We report the presence of an extremely high proportion of "aged" amylase in the serum and cyst fluid of a patient with a pancreatic pseudocyst. A salivary amylase inhibitor test helped us to differentiate these "aged" pancreatic amylases from salivary fractions having a similar electrophoretic mobility.

the concentrations of serum calcitonin', parathormone (pth), amylase, alkaline phosphatase (alkp), calcium and phosphorus were studied in pre-and post-dialysis patients with chronic renal failure. all patients had extremely elevated serum urea and creatinine concentrations with the mean values of143.8 and 10.5 mg/dl respectively. the plasma amylase activity was higher than normal with a me...

The effect of dietary phytate and phytase on carbohydrase activity and hexose transport was investigated in broiler chickens. Diets containing phytate P (2.2 or 4.4 g/kg) with different phytase dose rates (0, 500, or 1,000 phytase units/kg) were fed to 504 female Cobb chicks for 3 wk. Diets containing high phytate concentrations depressed (P < 0.05) BW and G:F, whereas phytase supplementation i...
