Information

This test analyzes your level of the enzyme Pancreas Amylase or "pancreatic amylase". Pancreatic symlase is an enzyme produced in the pancreas that helps with digestion, breaking down carbohydrates in the intestinal tract. When the pancreas is healthy, it releases the appropriate amount of amylase into the blood. In case of damage or reduced pancreatic function, the levels of amylase in the blood may be increased or decreased, indicating a possible health problem.

The test is suitable for those who experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, reduced appetite, swelling in the abdomen or diarrhoea. The test may also recommend a screening tool for individuals at risk of developing pancreatic disease, such as if you have a family history of pancreatic cancer or chronic pancreatitis.
