Abstract
|
|
|
Macroenzymes are high molecular weight complexes formed in the serum by self-polymerization or by association with
other proteins. Macroenzymes are filtered with difficulty by normal renal glomeruli. Clinically, it is important to detect
macroenzymes, because they frequently interfere with the interpretation of serum enzyme results, and as a result they can cause diagnostic and therapeutic errors. Macroamylasemia and macrolipasemia have been found to occur in apparently healthy humans, as well as in a variety of disease states, including liver disease, diabetes,cancer, malabsorption, and autoimmune disorders. We report a patient with alcoholic liver cirrhosis and macroamylasemia and macrolipasemia, the latter two of which were discovered using a screening test.
