Abstract
Serum amylase, isoamylase and lipase were determined in 17 patients with pancreatic or biliary diseases before and after endoscopic retrograde pancreatography (ERP). Within 1/2-2 hours after cannulation of the pancreatic duct, serum lipase was increased to approximately 4 times the upper reference level and normalized almost completely at 24 hours. A much smaller increase was found in amylase and isoamylase. The elevation in enzyme activities was less in patients with abnormal than with normal ERP. The results suggest that lipase is a more sensitive indicator of pancreatic injury than amylase and isoamylase.Entities:
