1
Laboratory tests that can diagnose pancreatitis include: General clinical analysis of blood, biochemical analysis of blood, biochemical analysis of urine.
2
Clinical blood shall be in the morning on an empty stomach. A slight increase of leukocyte count, increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate indicate the presence in the body of the inflammatory process.
3
Biochemical analysis of blood seems in the morning on an empty stomach from Vienna. In the venous blood is carried out the quantitative determination of alpha-amylase, lipase, C-reactive protein.
4
Alpha-amylase – an enzyme that breaks down starch and other carbohydrates, provides the digestion of carbohydrate foods. The normal value for alpha-amylase in the blood: 10-100 U/l.
5
The increase in the number of alpha-amylase in the study of blood may indicate acute pancreatitis or exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis.
6
After 2-12 hours from the onset of acute pancreatitis the amylase activity starts to increase and reaches a maximum at the end of the day with the subsequent decrease of activity and normalization during the week.
7
Lipase is an enzyme that promotes the breakdown of fats entering the body with food. For an adult is considered normal lipase content of up to 190 U/ml.
8
After 4-8 hours from the onset of acute pancreatitis, the lipase level in blood serum increases to 200 times, reaching a peak at 24 hours and decreases in 8-14 days.
9
Simultaneous determination of lipase and amylase to diagnose pancreatic lesion with an accuracy of more than 90%.
10
C-reactive protein (CRP) – protein of acute phase of the inflammatory process. Normally, the content of CRP in the blood is less than 5 mg/L.
11
Increasing the amount of CRP in the blood occurs after 48 hours from the onset of acute pancreatitis. The study of blood C-reactive protein is important for determining prognosis of acute pancreatitis.
12
Biochemical analysis of urine in the diagnosis of pancreatitis is a quantification of diastase.
13
The normal value of the content of diastase in the urine is in the range of 16-64 Units. A significant increase in the content of diastase in urine is noted in pancreatitis.
