The Amylase Test measures the levels of the amylase enzyme in the blood or urine. Amylase, produced by the pancreas and salivary glands, plays a vital role in breaking down carbohydrates and aiding digestion. This test is commonly used to diagnose conditions such as acute pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, and other digestive or metabolic disorders. It is often performed alongside the Lipase Test to provide a comprehensive assessment of pancreatic health.

Abnormal amylase levels can indicate serious health issues, such as pancreatic disease, cystic fibrosis, or kidney disorders. Elevated amylase levels may point to acute pancreatitis, while lower levels could signal chronic conditions like pancreatic insufficiency or advanced liver disease. Early detection of abnormal levels through the Amylase Test helps prevent complications and supports timely medical intervention for effective treatment.
