Description

Macroamylase is an enzymatically active complex of amylase with IgG or IgA that is too large to be excreted in the urine. Macroamylasemia is a benign condition that accounts for 2.5% of all cases of hyperamylasemia. It is particularly likely in patients with unexplained chronic hyperamylasemia. Macroamylasemia should be considered in patients with elevated serum amylase and normal urine amylase activity. The amylase to creatinine clearance ratio will be less than 0.2.
