What is Serum Amylase (Amylase)?
Serum Amylase is measured as part of a other tests panel. Your amylase is normal — no current sign of pancreatic irritation by this marker.
What does a high Serum Amylase mean?
Your amylase is elevated. This can reflect inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) or salivary glands. It's usually checked together with lipase.
If markedly elevated: Your amylase is very high, which can indicate acute pancreatitis — please seek medical evaluation promptly.
