    What is Amylase Test?

    The Amylase test is a blood test which is used to measure the concentration of the enzyme amylase in the blood. Amylase is mainly produced by the salivary glands and the pancreas, and it assists in the digestion of carbohydrates.

    Generally, small amounts of amylase are present in both urine and blood. However, any changes in amylase levels appear in the bloodstream before showing up in the urine. This indicates that a urine amylase test may be performed together with or after the blood amylase test. These tests can help diagnose or monitor treatment for various conditions that may impact amylase levels, such as pancreatic and salivary gland disorders, as well as certain digestive issues.

    High or low amylase levels may suggest underlying health concerns like infections, eating disorders, or alcohol use disorders. Doctors may recommend this test if you're experiencing symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or appetite loss to assist in diagnosing the cause of your symptoms.

    Amylase Test Parameters

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

    Amylase serves as a digestive enzyme that converts starches into simpler sugars, which helps in the digestion process. There are three distinct forms of amylase: alpha, beta, and gamma. Among these, alpha-amylase is the type that humans produce and is found in both saliva and pancreatic fluid.

    This test is commonly performed to investigate digestive issues, especially those that impact the pancreas. It is important to note that amylase levels can also rise in patients with non-pancreatic abdominal pain and certain cancers, such as lung cancer. To diagnose pancreatitis, the amylase test is frequently ordered in conjunction with a lipase test.

    Amylase Test Preparation

    Consider the following points before booking an Amylase test in Mumbai:

    • Prerequisites

    There is no need to fast before having an Amylase test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    The test can be arranged at any time during the day.

    • Who Should Get the Amylase Test?

    An Amylase test is recommended for individuals who are experiencing symptoms indicative of pancreatic problems, like abdominal pain or digestive issues. It may also be part of routine health examinations to evaluate pancreatic health and overall health.

    • Cautions Before Taking This Test

    Specific preparation is not necessary for the Amylase test. Nevertheless, consult your healthcare provider prior to the test to ensure it is appropriate for your health status.

    Why Take the Amylase Test?

    The Amylase test is mainly used to diagnose pancreatic-related problems, particularly pancreatitis, which refers to the inflammation of the pancreas.

    Elevated or decreased levels of amylase can be identified in the blood before they show up in urine, so a urine test may also be conducted either alongside or following the blood amylase assessment.

    If you present symptoms of a pancreatic disorder, your doctor may recommend the Amylase test. These symptoms may emerge abruptly or develop over time and can include:

    • Pain in the upper abdomen that may extend to the back or become more intense after eating

    • Reduced appetite

    • Feelings of nausea and instances of vomiting

    • Fever

    • A faster heartbeat

    • Jaundice, characterised by yellowing of the skin or eyes

    • Stools that are greasy and foul-smelling

    Additionally, the Amylase test might be ordered to keep track of existing pancreatic conditions, including chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, eating disorders, cystic fibrosis, alcohol dependence, or recovery from gallbladder surgery.

    Amylase Test Results and Interpretation

    Amylase levels are expressed in units per litre (U/L), with a normal range of 30 to 110 U/L.

    When a person suffers from acute pancreatitis, their blood amylase levels can rise sharply within 6 to 48 hours after the onset of symptoms. However, it is essential to recognize that a higher level of amylase does not necessarily signify a more severe case of pancreatitis. In most cases, amylase levels normalise within 3 to 5 days. If these levels remain elevated for an extended period, it may indicate more severe conditions, such as pancreatic necrosis (death of pancreatic tissue) or the presence of a pseudocyst (a fluid-filled sac in the pancreas).

    Low amylase levels may suggest problems with the liver, kidneys, or pancreas, and can also indicate pre-eclampsia (a pregnancy-related blood pressure condition) or cystic fibrosis.

    High amylase levels, known as hyperamylasaemia, can result from several non-pancreatic issues. Some frequent causes include:

    • Salivary gland inflammation

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

    • Intestinal obstruction (blockage of the intestines)

    • Infarction (tissue death from insufficient blood supply)

    • Aortic aneurysm (bulge in the aorta)

    • Peritonitis (inflammation of the lining of the abdomen)

    By understanding these test results and their significance, physicians can effectively diagnose and manage various health conditions associated with the pancreas and other digestive organs.
