Significance of combination detection of serum amylase and lipase in diagnoses of acute pancreatitis / 国际检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the value of the combination detection of serum amylase (AMY) and lipase(LPS) in the diag‐nose of acute pancreatitis .Methods Serum AMY and LPS were detected in 51 patients with acute pancreatitis ,418 patients with a‐cute abdomen disease and 78 healthy control subjects .Results The sensitivity of serum AMY and LPS increase in 51 patients with acute pancreatitis was 86 .3 % and 92 .2 % respectively .The specificity of serum AMY and LPS increase ,and both AMY and LAS increase in 418 non‐pancreatitis patients with acute abdomen disease was 90 .4% ,91 .7% and 100% respectively .Conclusion The combination detection of serum AMY and LPS can increase the sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing acute pancreatitis and has an important significance for rapid diagnosis of acute pancreatitis .
