What is Urinary Amylase?

This test measures the amount of amylase, an enzyme that helps digest carbohydrates, in your urine. Amylase is primarily produced by the pancreas and salivary glands.

Why is this test important?

Elevated urinary amylase levels can indicate problems with the pancreas, such as pancreatitis, or other conditions affecting the salivary glands. It helps in diagnosing and monitoring these inflammatory conditions.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required. You may be asked to provide a random or 24-hour urine sample.
