Amylase Test

Serum amylase test is a medical test used to measure the level of amylase in the blood and urine. Amylase is a biological enzyme present in our body that aids the digestion of complex sugars like starch. Amylase is mainly present in our salivary gland as ‘salivary amylase’ and the pancreas as pancreatic amylase. The main aim of an amylase test is to check pancreatic health. An abnormal amylase level in blood and urine indicates a pancreatic disorder or infection. The test results can help your doctor understand the health issue and prescribe further treatment.

High amylase levels, also called hyperamylasemia, is caused due to the following reasons:

Tumors.

Gall Bladder Infections.

Kidney Failure.

Pancreatic Infection.
