title: Some serum enzymes in burns and their probable correlation with surgical shock--a prospective combined surgicobiochemical study.
abstract: Serum enzymes such as phosphohexoisomerase, aldolase and amylase were estimated in serum of 100 patients with thermal burn of different degrees. These enzymes were estimated at the time of admission, at 12th hour, 24th hour, 36th hour, 72nd hour, 7th day and 14th day. The patients with high serum levels of these enzymes till 72nd hour showed grave prognosis and serial measurements of these enzymes might help in predicting the outcome.
