For the first time for many years I have been requested to carry out
a urinary amylase on a child with an RTA. Reading the literature
gives me the strong impression that this test is redundant although
it was frequently requested in my youth - a long time ago for those of
you who do not know me. Have I got the right idea or is my view
coloured by the paediatric nature of my practice? Do many labs
continue to offer this test and if so for what clinical situations?
