Amylase levels in ascitic fluid.
Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology 1987 April
The amylase concentration of ascitic fluid and serum were measured in patients with various types of ascites to determine their normal range. The mean (+/- SD) nonpancreatic ascites amylase concentration was 42 +/- 44 IU/L (range 4-234) and the mean ascitic fluid/serum amylase concentration ratio was 0.44 +/- 0.33 (range 0.10-1.55). Of the various types of non-pancreatic ascites (sterile cirrhotic, infected, malignant, etc.), no group had a significantly different ascitic fluid amylase concentration or concentration ratio than any other group. Two patients with pancreatic ascites had a mean ascitic fluid amylase concentration of 1,957 +/- 1,093 IU/L and a mean amylase concentration ratio of 5.59 +/- 0.02--both significantly (p less than 0.001) greater than those of nonpancreatic ascites.
