Reference values for a new alpha-amylase estimation using maltoheptaose as substrate were determined in 251 healthy men and women in serum at 25 degrees C and at 30 degrees C and in urine at 25 degrees C. Sex dependency was not demonstrable. The following reference ranges are suggested: 30-100 U/l in serum at 25 degrees C, 40-130 U/l in serum at 30 degrees C, and 500 U/l in urine at 25 degrees C. In addition reference values for the relative percentual amylase-creatinine clearance (25 degrees C) of 0.25-4% and for amylase activity per mg creatinine (urine 25 degrees C) of 0.02-0.25 U/mg creatinine are suggested.
