Elevated blood amylase and lipase are most commonly seen in acute pancreatitis and are one of the most important diagnostic indicators of acute pancreatitis, but elevated amylase and/or lipase does not necessarily mean acute pancreatitis.

Acute pancreatitis is usually characterized by blood amylase and/or lipase that exceeds the upper limit of normal by at least three times, and is often accompanied by acute, sudden, persistent, and severe epigastric pain, and/or ultrasound/CT suggestive of acute pancreatitis changes.

Amylase formation:

It is a general term for enzymes that hydrolyze starch and glycogen, usually through the amylase catalyzed hydrolysis of starch slurry on fabrics, due to the high efficiency and specificity of amylase, enzyme desizing desizing of the desizing rate of the high rate of desizing, desizing fast, less contamination, and the product is softer than the acid method and alkaline method, and does not damage the Fiber.

There are many kinds of amylase, according to the different fabrics, different equipment combinations, different processes, the desizing methods used at present are impregnation, stacking, roll dyeing, continuous washing, etc. Due to the small mechanical effect of amylase desizing, the amount of water is small, and the desizing effect can be achieved at low temperature, with distinctive characteristics of environmental protection.
