53. Serum Amylase and Isoamylase in Chronic Renal Failure

Author

Bardella, M.T., Bianchi, M.L., Molteni, N., Garbin, C., Valenti, G., Buccianti, G., and Bianchi, P.A.

Abstract

In 37 patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) serum amylase was higher than in 33 normal subjects (483 U/L ± SD 185 versus 267 ± SD 66 U/L, p < 0.05); while the percentage of pancreatic isoenzymes was within normal limits in 34 patients and only slightly increased in 3. Seventeen of the patients were on conservative treatment, 10 on hemodialysis and 10 on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis; no significant differences in serum amylase levels were detected between these subgroups. No correlation was found between serum BUN or creatinine and serum amylase but a positive correlation was found between these enzyme levels and duration of CRF (p < 0.05) in the patients on conservative treatment.

Abstract

Background “Gluten-related disorders” is a term that encompasses different diseases induced by the ingestion of gluten-containing food. Because of their incidence the scientific community has been intensively studying them. Aim To support gastroenterologists with a correct nomenclature and diagnostic approach to gluten-related disorders in adulthood. Methods The Italian Association of Hospital Gastroenterologists and Endoscopists (AIGO) commissioned a panel of experts to prepare a position statement clarifying the nomenclature and diagnosis of gluten-related disorders, focusing on those of gastroenterological interest. Each member was assigned a task and levels of evidence/recommendation have been proposed. Results The panel identified celiac disease, wheat allergy and non-celiac gluten sensitivity as the gluten-related disorders of gastroenterological interest. Celiac disease has an autoimmune nature, wheat allergy is IgE-mediated while the pathogenesis of non-celiac gluten sensitivity is still unknown as is the case of non-IgE mediated allergy. Diagnosis should start with the serological screening for celiac disease and wheat allergy. In case of normal values, the response to a gluten-free diet should be evaluated and a confirmatory blind food challenge carried out. Conclusions Gluten-related disorders are clinically heterogeneous. Patients should be carefully managed and specific protocols applied for a correct differential diagnosis in gastroenterological setting.
