About this test

What is
Amylase, urine
?

Option 1:The amylase test is a diagnostic tool used to measure the levels of amylase present in the blood or urine. Amylase is an enzyme that aids in the digestion of carbohydrates and is mainly produced by the pancreas and salivary glands. A small amount of amylase is normal, but abnormally high or low levels could indicate a disorder of the pancreas, salivary glands, or another medical condition. The test is frequently used to diagnose pancreatitis and monitor chronic pancreatitis. An amylase urine test may be conducted after or with an amylase blood test. Additionally, these tests may also help diagnose or monitor treatment for other disorders that influence amylase levels, such as digestive conditions and salivary gland disorders.Option 2:The amylase test is a diagnostic test that measures the level of amylase present in the blood or urine. Amylase, a protein enzyme, is responsible for breaking down carbohydrates during the digestion process, and is primarily produced by the pancreas and salivary glands. While a certain level of amylase in the blood and urine is normal, an excessive or insufficient amount could be indicative of a medical condition or disorder affecting the pancreas or salivary glands. The test is primarily used to diagnose pancreatitis and monitor chronic pancreatitis. An amylase urine test may be conducted in conjunction with or after an amylase blood test, as increases or decreases in amylase levels are first detected in blood. The amylase test may also be used to diagnose or monitor treatment for other conditions affecting amylase levels, such as salivary gland disorders and certain digestive conditions.
