Abstract

This article presents the results of statistical processing of a data array based on the results of a study of two biochemical parameters - total and pancreatic amylase. The relevance of this study lies in the fact that a test system for determining the activity of pancreatic amylase in animals has been developed and introduced into clinical practice relatively recently. In this regard, there are no data in the literature on reference intervals for this indicator in horses. First, each sample was evaluated for normal distribution. After that, statistical outliers were removed from each dataset using Tukey's method. The 2.5 and 97.5 percentiles were then calculated in the remaining data set. Their values were the boundaries of the reference intervals. Based on the results of the studies, normative limits were set for total amylase - from 13.5 to 135.0 IU / l and pancreatic amylase - from 8.5 to 40.2 IU / l. The indicator of pancreatic amylase activity is a rare biochemical marker, especially in horses, so the results of the studies carried out in this article can be used as reference material in the formation of forms of biochemical results, as well as in the detection of cases of pathological processes in the pancreas.
