AMYLASE, URINE (BI011)

Description

The Urine Amylase Test is a clinical biochemistry investigation used to measure the concentration of amylase, a digestive enzyme produced primarily by the pancreas and salivary glands. This test plays an important role in diagnosing and monitoring pancreatic disorders such as acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic duct obstruction, and pancreatic injury. Elevated urinary amylase levels often occur following pancreatic inflammation and may remain increased longer than blood amylase levels, making the test particularly useful in certain clinical situations. The urine amylase test may also aid in evaluating salivary gland diseases, mumps, gallstone-related pancreatic conditions, and gastrointestinal disorders. When interpreted alongside serum amylase, lipase, imaging studies, and clinical findings, the Urine Amylase test provides valuable information about pancreatic health and digestive system function.
