What does erythrocytes in urine mean? What factor mainly affects the concentration of plasma proteins in blood? What are the functions of blood? On starch hydrolysis test (amylase test), how would you expect both positive and negative results to be affected if you were to add glucose to the...
Conclusion This systematic review revealed a unique insight into the relevance of low serum amylase in clinical practice. Low serum amylase can be a useful adjunct test in the assessment of patients with CP, pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome. There are no ...

When a Lipase Test Is Called For Serum lipase levels can be used in the diagnosis of pancreatitis, or inflammation of the pancreas. When this organ becomes inflamed, some of its cells are destroyed and leak enzymes into the circulation. Thus high levels of lipase in the setting of well-esta...
Objective To determine which biochemical test is best to distinguish acute pancreatitis from other pancreatic and nonpancreatic diseases associated with hyperamylasemia. Design We conducted a prospective clinical study of 836 consecutive patients who had a total serum amylase test requested by a physician...
For many years, alpha-Amylase has been used primarily to diagnose acute pancreatitis. alpha-Amylase can be measured with a blood test or urine test. Urine testing can be done with a clean collector or by collecting urine 24 hours a day. The normal range for serum alpha-Amylase varies betwee...
]. The simplest test, however, remains the serum copper/ceruloplasmin ratio (μg/dL), which if is greater than 2 determines the existence of WD, and if < 1 determines a healthy subject or a heterozygote[49]. Although the 24 h urine test is used widely, it is not practical and may ...
Alanine aminotansferase (ALT):This test may determine active liver damage, but does not indicate the cause. Amylase (AMYL):Elevations in this test indicate pancreatitis or kidney disease. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST):Increases in this test may indicate liver, heart or skeletal muscle damage. ...
