Abstract

Following single doses of heparin and with continuous heparin infusion the activity of lipase in the serum increases temporarily and can attain pathological values in healthy persons. Even when the heparin infusion is continued, the lipase values return after 24 h to the initial value before application of heparin. For a diagnosis of pancreatic diseases, the interpretation of lipase values in serum must consider the length of the heparin treatment.
