In this latter group a marked increase of serum amylase was expected. A review of the American literature of the past two decades uncovered no specific study or detailed analysis. The literature was, of course, voluminous with articles dealing with the test, its variations and its relationship to disease. Acute pancreatitis was the outstanding condition in which a high level was clinically significant. However, the tests were performed in a great variety of...Bibliography1.
