A patient with recurrent vomiting, abdominal pain, and elevated serum amylase activity may have pancreatitis. Although elevated serum amylase levels are a sensitive indicator for acute pancreatitis, this test is not highly specific for pancreatic disease. A patient is described who illustrates the need for specific laboratory, historical, and occasional psychological evaluation in pediatric patients with elevated amylase values.
一名反复呕吐、腹痛且血清淀粉酶活性升高的患者可能患有胰腺炎。虽然血清淀粉酶水平升高是急性胰腺炎的敏感指标，但该检查对胰腺疾病的特异性并不高。本文描述了一名患者，该患者表明对淀粉酶值升高的儿科患者进行特定实验室检查、病史询问以及偶尔的心理评估的必要性。
