title: [Pancreatic lipase: reference values at 25 degrees C (author's transl)].
abstract: Development of a new specific test for estimation of pancreatic lipase activity (EC 3.1.1.3.) required establishment of reference values. An upper reference range of 170 to 190 U/l at 25 degrees C was determined from a group of 368 females and 435 males aged 20 to 70 years. Values below 170 U/l are very likely to be normal, values above 190 U/l are considered pathological. Values between 170 and 190 U/l require further controls. For practical reasons age and sex dependency need not be accounted for as these influences are negligible.
