Since last year, we have experienced 29 cases with hyperamylasemia and studied on amylaseisoenzyme pattern in their sera.
According to this study, 26 out of 29 cases showed something different pattern from the normal controls, in the meaning of"P"dominant or"S"dominant.
We found out 2 cases with macroamylasemia in these 29 cases and concluded biochemically one was IgA complex and the other was sialic acid complex.
Particullary, the case of macroamylasemia due to amylase-sialic acid complex seems to be rare.
Anyway, the analysis of the case with hyper and macroamylasemia must be very significant in the relationship between pancreatic diseases and hyperamylasemia.
