Elevation of serum amylase levels after narcotic administration.
Hyperamylasemia after narcotic administration is found in some patients. To determine the source of the amylase, serum isoamylases were separated by column chromatography in a group of patients with response to a Prostigmin-morphine challenge. The increment of amylase activity was pancreatic amylase.
