Abstract:

A 36 year old woman presented with malabsorption and macroamylasemia. The macroamylase was characterized and shown to be a complex of pancreatic amylase and immunoglobulin A(IgA). The patient had the clinical and histologic features of adult celiac disease, and responded to a gluten-free diet. The macroamylase complex disappeared from the serum after gluten withdrawal, a hitherto unreported finding in the syndrome of malabsorption and hyperamylasemia.
