Abstract :

The fact that a certain number of patients with perforated gastroduodenal ulcer have significantly elevated serum and peritoneal fluid amylase is widely known. The determination of amylase content in serum or peritoneal fluid may often prove useful adjustment to clinical evaluation. There is a tendency for larger perforation to have high serum and peritoneal fluid amylase. Preoperative shock is more frequent in patients with higher serum amylase
