Amylase
What's Included?
There is no special preparation. However, you should avoid alcohol before the test.
This is a test to measure the amount of amylase in serum (blood).
Amylase is an enzyme that helps digest glycogen and starch. It is produced mainly in the salivary glands and pancreas. When the pancreas is diseased or inflamed, amylase escapes into the blood.
This test is primarily performed to diagnose or monitor diseases of the pancreas. It may also reflect some gastrointestinal problems. Drugs that can increase amylase measurements include asparaginase, aspirin, cholinergic agents, corticosteroids, indomethacin, loop and thiazide diuretics, methyldopa, opiates (codeine, morphine), oral contraceptives (birth control pills), and pentazocine.
