What is Amylase?
Amylase is an enzyme or protein produced by the pancreas to digest carbohydrates. It converts starch and glycogen into sugar. The pancreas is an organ in the belly which helps to digest food.
The amylase enzyme is normally found in the pancreas and salivary glands. It is also found in the blood and urine in a small amount.
Why is an amylase blood test done?
Sometimes the pancreas may be inflamed or damaged, producing little or more amylase. It is a sign of pancreatic disorder if the amylase is in an abnormal amount. The amylase test measures the amount of amylase present in our body.
The high level of amylase indicates that the digestive enzyme is blocked from moving to the small intestine from the pancreas. The amylase test is also known as the serum amylase test.

In some cases, your doctor may ask you to take the lipase test along with an amylase test. The pancreas produces lipase to digest fats.
How should I prepare?
The amylase test does not require any special preparation. But inform the doctor if you are taking any medications. Because some medications may affect the test results. You should also avoid drinking alcohol prior to the test.
How is it done?
The amylase test is similar to a normal blood test. An elastic band will be tied around your arm to make the vein visible. The antiseptic will be applied to the area where the blood is drawn. A needle will be inserted in your vein to draw the blood. Then the blood sample will be sent to the lab for the test.
What are the risks involved?
The amylase test does not have any possible side effects. You may feel slight discomfort due to the needle inserted in the vein.
