[Amylase in serum, amylase excretion and the amylase-creatinine-ratio. Individual variation and diagnostic specifity (author's transl)].
The amylase activity in serum, the amylase excretion and the amylase-creatinine-ratio was investigated in 25 volunteers monthly for one year and daily for two weeks. The intraindividual variation of the amylase-activity in serum showed only small oscillations. The large refernce value of the group and the need to use individual reference values prefer the 24 hour amylase excretion as a diagnostic tool. The amylase-creatinine-ratio showed individual and seasonal large variations. Therefore the ratio is not suitable for diagnostic questions.
