Abstract

This case focuses on the biochemical findings in acute pancreatitis and the role of the laboratory in the diagnosis and management of such patients. It also illustrates a major unappreciated problem in the use of amylase determinations in patients with acute pancreatitis: normal serum amylase activity in the presence of hyperlipemia.
