The determination of serum and urinary amylase are methods used in the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis, however there are many abdominal problems that can cause hyperamylasemia, in the absence of pancreatic disease, for this reason in 1969 Levitt and col. signaled the possible advantages of amylase/creatinine clearence ratio, in the clinical diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. This test was used in cases with acute pancreatitis, as in other diseases, in correlation with levels in normal subjects, with the objective of evaluating its clinica utility, in relation to the formentioned paragraph. Results concluded that the amylase/creatinine ratio is not of greater diagnostic utility than the determination of urinary amylase, in acute pancreatitis.
血清和尿淀粉酶的测定是用于诊断急性胰腺炎的方法，然而，在没有胰腺疾病的情况下，有许多腹部问题可导致高淀粉酶血症，因此在1969年，莱维特等人指出了淀粉酶/肌酐清除率在急性胰腺炎临床诊断中的潜在优势。该检测用于急性胰腺炎病例，与其他疾病一样，与正常受试者的水平相关，目的是根据上述段落评估其临床效用。结果表明，在急性胰腺炎中，淀粉酶/肌酐比值的诊断效用并不比尿淀粉酶测定更大。
