    What is Amylase Test?

    The Amylase test is a blood test that measures how much of the enzyme amylase is present in the bloodstream. This enzyme is produced mainly by the salivary glands and the pancreas, aiding in the digestion of carbohydrates.

    There is typically a minor quantity of amylase found in both blood and urine. Changes in blood amylase levels tend to show up before any alterations are detected in the urine, which may result in a urine amylase test being conducted either alongside or after the blood test. These tests are essential for diagnosing or tracking conditions that can affect amylase levels, including pancreatic disorders, issues with the salivary glands, and specific digestive problems.

    Elevated or decreased amylase levels might indicate health problems such as infections, eating disorders, or alcohol use disorders. If you present symptoms like severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or a loss of appetite, your doctor may suggest this test to help determine the cause of your symptoms.

    Amylase Test Parameters

    The Amylase test primarily measures one key parameter: the level of amylase in the blood.

    Amylase is a digestive enzyme that breaks down starches into simpler sugars, aiding digestion. Amylase enzymes exist in 3 forms: alpha, beta, and gamma. Amongst these classes, alpha-amylase is the amylase found in humans and is present in both saliva and pancreatic fluid.

    The amylase test is commonly used to check for digestive issues, especially conditions affecting the pancreas. Amylase can also be elevated in patients experiencing non-pancreatic abdominal pain and in certain cancers, such as lung cancer. The amylase test is often ordered alongside a lipase test to diagnose pancreatitis.

    Amylase Test Preparation

    Keep the following in mind before scheduling an Amylase test in Delhi:

    • Prerequisites

    There is no fasting requirement for the Amylase test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    You can schedule this test at any time of the day that suits you.

    • Who Should Get the Amylase Test?

    The Amylase test is advisable for individuals who exhibit symptoms of pancreatic disorders, such as abdominal pain or digestive difficulties. It may also be part of routine health assessments to evaluate the functioning of the pancreas and overall health.

    • Cautions Before Taking This Test

    No specific preparations are needed for the Amylase test. However, it is wise to consult with your doctor beforehand to ensure that the test is relevant to your condition.

    Why Take the Amylase Test?

    The Amylase test serves primarily to diagnose conditions related to the pancreas, especially pancreatitis, which involves inflammation of this organ.

    Alterations in amylase levels can be observed in the blood before they are detectable in urine, which means a urine test may be performed alongside or after the blood amylase test.

    Your healthcare provider might advise the Amylase test if you display symptoms of a pancreatic disorder. These symptoms can manifest either suddenly or gradually and may encompass:

    • Upper abdominal pain that could radiate to the back or become aggravated after meals

    • A loss of appetite

    • Nausea along with vomiting

    • Fever

    • An increased pulse rate

    • Yellowing of the skin or eyes, known as jaundice

    • Fatty, unpleasant-smelling stools

    In addition, the Amylase test may be used to monitor current conditions impacting the pancreas, including chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, eating disorders, cystic fibrosis, alcohol use disorders, or recovery from gallbladder surgery.

    Amylase Test Results and Interpretation

    In acute pancreatitis, amylase levels can significantly increase within 6 to 48 hours following the onset of symptoms. However, it is crucial to understand that higher amylase levels do not necessarily indicate a more serious case of pancreatitis. Generally, amylase levels will return to normal within 3 to 5 days. Should these levels remain elevated beyond this period, it may indicate more serious complications, such as pancreatic necrosis (tissue death in the pancreas) or the formation of a pseudocyst (a fluid-filled sac).

    A low amylase level could signal issues with the liver, kidneys, or pancreas, and might also be indicative of conditions like pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure during pregnancy) or cystic fibrosis.

    Elevated amylase levels, referred to as hyperamylasaemia, can also be caused by conditions that are not related to the pancreas. Some common causes include:

    • Inflammation of the salivary glands

    • Perforated peptic ulcers (openings in the lining of the stomach or intestines)

    • Intestinal obstruction (blockages within the intestines)

    • Infarction (tissue death due to lack of blood flow)

    • Aortic aneurysm (bulging of the aorta)

    • Peritonitis (inflammation of the abdominal lining)

    By analysing these test results and their implications, doctors can diagnose and manage a variety of health issues related to the pancreas and other digestive organs.
