Amylase is an enzyme that helps digest carbohydrates such as glycogen and starch.
Amylase is produced mainly in the pancreas and the glands that make saliva.
Amylase tests are normally used to diagnose or monitor diseases of the pancreas and sometimes used in conjunction with Lipase tests. They may also detect some digestive tract problems.
Normally, only low levels of amylase are found in the blood or urine. However, if the pancreas or salivary glands become damaged or blocked, more amylase is usually released into the blood and urine.
Amylase levels rise for only a short time in the blood. In the urine, amylase may remain high for several days.
