The activity of
alpha-amylase
was measured in isolated granulocytes, serum and urine of 35 patients with
acute appendicitis
. The measurements were performed before operation and on the 7th day after operation. Slightly increased activity of
alpha-amylase
was found in the serum and urine of 15 patients. On the 7th day after operation the activity of this enzyme reached normal value. The activity of granulocyte
alpha-amylase
was elevated in 22 patients. In 2 of them the increased activity still maintained on the 7th day after operation. Positive correlation between the serum and granulocyte
alpha-amylase
activities was found. These observations allow to conclude that granulocytes are the source of increased
alpha-amylase
activity in the serum of patients with
acute appendicitis
.
