Amylase Blood Test
Item # LC001396
Tests pancreatic inflammation by measuring amylase in the blood
If you're concerned about pancreatitis because you've been having gastrointestinal symptoms, you or your doctor may want to check your levels of amylase, a digestive enzyme made by the pancreas that helps breaks down starchy foods.
| Amylase is used as a work-up for abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Such findings characterize inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis). Pancreatitis is also associated with abnormalities in calcium metabolism. About 80% of subjects with acute pancreatitis have increased serum amylase within 24 hours. Instructions Fasting is not required for this test. Take all medications as prescribed. |
