It is often difficult to differentiate acute pancreatitis (A.P.) from some other acute abdominal diseases, when there is an elevated serum amylase. In contrast, the renal clearance of amylase, expressed as a percentage of creatinine clearance, can separate patients with A.P. from patients with acute colecistitis, common duct stone without pancreatitis, hyperamylasemia after biliary surgery, acute peptic ulcer and acute salivary diseases.
当血清淀粉酶升高时，急性胰腺炎（A.P.）常难以与其他一些急性腹部疾病相鉴别。相比之下，以淀粉酶清除率占肌酐清除率的百分比表示的淀粉酶肾清除率，可将急性胰腺炎患者与急性胆囊炎、无胰腺炎的胆总管结石、胆道手术后高淀粉酶血症、急性消化性溃疡及急性唾液腺疾病患者区分开来。
