  • Title: The screening value of the amylase-creatinine clearance ratio in acute pancreatitis.
    Author: Van Hee R, Hubens A.
    Journal: Acta Chir Belg; 1979; 78(5):301-8. PubMed ID: 517018.
    Abstract:
    The screening value of the amylase creatinine clearance ratio in acute pancreatitis is studied. A series of 28 patients with pancreatic disease is compared with 80 controls and 82 patients with other intra-abdominal disease. The greatest specificity of the amylase creatinine clearance ratio value is reached at the 3.5 level. The amylase creatinine clearance ratio value proves to be of interest, not only in the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis but also in differentiating mild and heavy forms of pancreatitis.
