title: [Amylase excretion in the feces].
abstract: The amylolytic excretion in stool was determined in 100 patients with various gastroenterologic diseases and in 55 healthy subjects. The amylolytic activities were detected in disc electrophoresis. The fecal amylase elimination correlates with the weight of stool and is augmented in pancreatopathies, and in other gastroenterologic diseases. The measurement of amylase activity in stool is not suitable for the diagnosis of exocrine pancreatic dysfunction.
