Introduction, Appreciation of Plasma Enzyme The heterogeneities of tissue enzymes and the enzyme distribution patterns
of organs, tissues and plasma have now been established by many findings
in various cases and diseases. Based on these precise laboratory data,
the fields of clinical enzymology has been developed so as to analyze the
very specific pathophysiological state in specific disorders. The characteristics
of tumor-producing enzymes and genetically modified enzymes were additionally
clarified by advances in molecular technology. Enzyme linked immunoglobulins
were newly categorized enzyme abnormalities found in plasma enzymes. Genetical
abnormalities of plasma enzymes fully explained the clotting abnormalities,
hyper coagulability and hyperlipidemia. Based on these advances, the roles
and future of clinical enzymology will be presented shown and discussed
in this symposium. |
