Evidence of a direct toxic effect of chlorothiazide on the pancreas is presented. The evidence consisted of increases in serum amylase levels in 50 per cent of treated patients and of direct ...

A new study by researchers at the Karolinska Institute and the University of Hamburg suggests liquid biopsy may revolutionize ...

The diagnosis is usually straight forward from the clinical history of an episode of acute pancreatitis. Although not usually necessary, analysis of pseudocyst fluid would reveal a high amylase ...

which was found to have a high content of amylase and lipase confirming the presence of a persistent cutaneous pancreatic leak. A graft pancreatectomy was performed.

Pancreatic function can also be monitored by amylase levels in the ostomy drainage. With this approach the anastomosis is decompressed, thus preventing leakage, and gastrograffin can be inserted ...

"Acute pancreatitis, in 80 percent of cases, affects people who have abused alcohol. Symptoms such as vomiting, electrolyte ...

In recent research published in eGastroenterology, Dr. J-Matthias Löhr and colleagues provide an in-depth review of ...

With fine-dining establishments, trendy restaurants, and street food haunts opening left and right, Filipino foodies have plenty of choices to sink their teeth into.  Although this may seem like a ...

One may assume that the origin of the inhibitor might be the pancreas itself, from which it can reach the bloodstream by a mechanism similar to that responsible for the elevation of serum amylase.

There is no one test, either blood test or x-ray, that can be ordered to see if pancreatic cancer is present. A series of tests are done, and they may include: a complete metabolic panel, liver panel, ...

EPI is treated by replacing the enzymes that the pancreas is not able to produce. It typically consists of three enzymes amylase, which is used to break down starches; lipase, which is used to ...

Our main digestive enzymes are amylase - which breaks down carbohydrates into sugars, protease - which breaks down proteins into amino acids and lipase which chops up fats into fatty acids and a ...
