Conclusion

1) For evaluating pancreatic diseases with Wohlgemuth’s method of amylase determination, the significant values lie only above 64 unit, and in the low units (2–8) there is no significance suggesting pancreatic abnormalities. 2) Serial determination on urinary amylase excretion is recommended for diagnosing of chronic pancreatic disorders. 3) It is suggested that urinary amylase is more closely related to pancreatic states than serum amylase from the observations of amylase isozyme pattern.
