[Macro-amylasaemia: report of two cases (author's transl)]

Macro-amylasaemia is a rare form of hyper-amylasaemia without evidence of pancreatic or renal disease. It is due to the presence of a macro-molecular amylase complex in serum, whose origin and clinical significance remains uncertain. The abnormality was diagnosed in a 25-year-old woman and a 44-year-old man. In both the amylase complex was demonstrated by gel filtration on Sephadex G-200.
