[Determination of serum amylases in parotid diseases]
1Universitätsklinik für Hals-, Nasen- und Ohrenkrankheiten Innsbruck.
Abstract:
In 50 patients, the majority of them suffering from parotid diseases, serum isoamylases were determined (salivary S-type and pancreatic P-type). After sialography, there was in most cases a slight increase in isoamylase level. Salivary amylase does not seem to be a suitable marker for parotid neoplasms.
