Amylase Blood Test
An amylase blood test measuring amylase, a digestive enzyme made mainly by the pancreas and salivary glands. It suits people asked to recheck a level or watching pancreas health.
What this test is for
The Amylase Blood Test measures amylase, an enzyme that helps break down starch in food. Most of it comes from the pancreas and the salivary glands in your mouth, and a small amount passes into the blood.
It suits people who have been asked to recheck an amylase level, and those keeping an eye on their pancreas after past problems. Sudden, severe tummy pain needs urgent medical care rather than a private blood test.
Your report shows your amylase level against its reference range. Levels can change for many reasons, including salivary gland problems, some medicines and how well the kidneys clear the enzyme, so a single result is best read with your symptoms. A result outside the range can prompt a repeat test or a conversation with your GP.
