Serum amylase was evaluated in a group of 26 steady-state homozygous sickle cell (SS) patients and 11 age-matched HbAA controls. Half (50%) of the SS patients had values above normal while only two of the control group had slightly elevated values. The SS patients had a mean +/- SD value of 301.46 +/- 119.40 iu/L while the control group had 274.36 +/- 89.70 iu/L. The difference between these two values is statistically significant (P less than .05). Males in both groups had significantly higher mean serum amylase values. The values in the SS group did not show an association with age. Higher levels in SS patients suggest a predisposition to chronic pancreatitis.
对一组26例稳态纯合子镰状细胞（SS）患者和11例年龄匹配的HbAA对照者的血清淀粉酶进行了评估。一半（50%）的SS患者数值高于正常范围，而对照组中只有两人数值略有升高。SS患者的平均±标准差数值为301.46±119.40 iu/L，而对照组为274.36±89.70 iu/L。这两个数值之间的差异具有统计学意义（P小于0.05）。两组中的男性血清淀粉酶平均数值均显著更高。SS组的数值与年龄无关联。SS患者中较高的水平提示其易患慢性胰腺炎。
