A member asked:

I have a patient with elevated s amylase 142, normal amylase/creat ratio 129 (40-400) and low amylase/creat clearance ratio 0.7% any further w/u ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sounds normal: If there is no abdominal pain and lipase is not elevated then i think this is normal. The low amy/cr clearance indicates that some of the amy is bound to larger globulins and is not being filtered at the kidney. This strongly supports DX of macroamylasemia.
