Specificity of increased amylase to creatinine clearance ratio in acute pancreatitis

P G Lankisch et al. Digestion. 1977.

Abstract

The amylase to creatinine clearance ratio was found to be normal in 11 of 33 patients with acute pancreatitis. The ratio was elevated in 10 of 19 patients with renal insufficiency. Thus, it does not seem to be a specific index in the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis.
