What does Amylase-Serum measure?
The Amylase-Serum test measures the level of amylase, an enzyme mainly produced by the pancreas and salivary glands that helps digest carbohydrates. It may be used to help evaluate symptoms such as upper abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting, and to support assessment of pancreatic disorders or other conditions that can affect amylase levels. Results are interpreted along with symptoms, medical history, and other laboratory or imaging tests.
