What You Should Know About the Amylase Test
The blood amylase test is commonly used to help diagnose and monitor acute pancreatitis. When cells in the pancreas are injured, amylase concentrations increase in both the blood and urine. The increased levels of amylase will, therefore, indicate a problem with the pancreas such as pancreatitis, inflammation of the pancreas, or the blockage of the pancreatic duct by a gallstone.
What Does the Amylase Test Measure?
The Amylase test combined with other tests can help diagnose multiple health conditions. The Amylase test in particular will measure the following:
- The amount of amylase enzyme in the blood. As mentioned previously the concentrations of amylase enzyme will alter if the pancreas cells are damaged.
- Amylase concentrations in the peritoneal fluid, which is a fluid commonly found between the membranes covering the abdominal cavity and the exterior of the abdominal organs.
- The concentration of amylase is in the urine because amylase is removed from the body through urine.
What Are the Symptoms of Pancreatic Inflammation?
Having an ill-functioning pancreas may display some symptoms. If you have any of the following symptoms you should consider taking an amylase test immediately.
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Fever
- Chronic abdominal pain (worsens after eating or radiates to the back)
- Increased and rapid pulse
- Loss of appetite
- Jaundice (yellowing of eyes)
- Steatorrhea (Loose, fatty, ill-smelling stools)
When Should You Consider Taking the Amylase Test?
Your doctor or GP will recommend taking the amylase test if you have any of the following conditions:
- Exhibiting symptoms (mentioned above) of an ill-functioning pancreas.
- Displaying signs of pancreatitis, gallstones, or pancreatic cancer.
- Suffer from drug abuse or have a severe alcohol use disorder.
- You have cystic fibrosis.
- Have been dealing with eating disorders.
- You have an infection that has impacted the liver, pancreas, or surrounding areas.
