XL Amylase - 5 x 11ml

Serum Alpha Amylase

Serum Alpha Amylase is an enzyme produced mainly by the pancreas and parotid glands. Measuring its level in the blood helps evaluate pancreatic function and supports the diagnosis of pancreatic disorders.

Clinical Significance

The test is particularly useful in the differential diagnosis of acute and chronic pancreatitis, where abnormal amylase levels may indicate pancreatic inflammation or injury.
