Dear all, We've recently moved from pancreatic amylase (Beckman) to total amylase (Olympus AU) and reflex a lipase when total amylase is raised. We're seeing a few more discrepant results than we'd expect - with lipase undetectable when total amylase is approx. 100-250 U/L (Ref <100). So far all have seemed that the amylase is the more plausible result with clinical details being abdominal pain. Has anyone else seen this? helen Consultant Clinical Scientist North Tees & Hartlepool NHSfT 01642 624455 This email and its attachments are intended for the above named only and may be confidential.
