✦ Synopsis

The concept of a simple, rapid bedside test to confirm acute pancreatitis is attractive but it must be reliable. Several studies have suggested that the Rapignost-Amylase test is highly sensitive and specific but they were based on small numbers or highly selected groups of patients. This prospective study compares the serum amylase estimation with the result of the test strips, under the same conditions and by the same personnel who are responsible for urine analysis.
