[Macroamylasemia, report of two cases].
Serum amylase isozyme was determined in 2 cases with normal urinary amylase but persistantly high serum amylase. Both cases showed dominant S-type amylase associated with tailing findings that was characteristic of macroamylasemia. Moreover, using the immunofixation method, the serum amylase was found to be bound with IgG (K) in case 1 and with IgA (L) in case 2.
