Amylase Isoenzymes with Reflex to Macroamylase
Amylase Isoenzymes with Reflex to Macroamylase
Amylase is produced primarily in the pancreas and salivary glands. Isoenzymes may be used to determine the source of an elevated amylase concentration. Macroamylase is a laboratory and not a clinical entity. Amylase can complex with immunoglobulins or other high molecular weight proteins and serum amylase will appear falsely elevated. No clinical symptoms are associated with macroamylasemia.
