Abstract
Clinical enzymology was born in 1908 when Wohlgemuth published his paper on the determination of amylase in urine [21]. Since then a considerable number of different enzymes have been proposed as biochemical markers of acute pancreatitis, and recently the pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor was added to this list:
-
Amylase
-
Lipase [7, 8, 13, 16]
-
p-Amylase
-
Ribonuclease [19]
-
Phospholipase A [5]
-
Elastase
-
Desoxyribonuclease
-
Pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor [14, 17]
