Q

principle of tietz-fiereck turbidimetry assay

A

the lipolytic action of lipase in the serum hydrolyzes the olive oil emulsion to fatty acids, mono and di-glycerides and glycerol. The decrease in turbidity at 550 nm is proportional to the lipase activity of the serum

33
Q

in acute pancreatitis, amylase levels are elevated for longer periods of time in what preferred sample
