ABSTRACT
Serum total Amylase and its heat stable fraction (HSF) were studied in 10 healthy controls, and 20 patients of Viral hepatitis. A highly significant (p < 0.001) elevation in the levels of total and HSF of Serum amylase was found in acute viral hepatitis, mainly due to the HSF which originates from hepatitis. The levels declined significantly after 10 days when the disease regressed and there was evidence of improvement in clinical and functional status of the liver. Hence an estimation of total and HSF of Serum amylase proved to have some diagnostic and prognostic importance.
