For over a year now we have been offering amylase and lipase simultaneously on all requests for amylase, on Ortho analysers . I am in the proccess of audting the usefullness or otherwise of this approach. Certainly lipase appears to be more 'sensitive' and remains raised for a longer period than amylase. =========================================== Ahmed Waise FRCP FRCPath Cosultant Chemcial Pathologist Friarage hospital, Northallerton, North Yorks DL6 1JG Tel 01609 763030 Fax 01609 764632 EMail: [log in to unmask] ========================================== > ---------- > From: Dr D G Williams[SMTP:[log in to unmask]] > Reply To: Dr D G Williams > Sent: 06 May 1999 06:30 > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Lipase > > Anybody out there still measuring lipase? > > -- > Dr D G Williams > Department of Biochemistry > Sunderland Royal Hospital > [log in to unmask] >
