What this test is

This blood test checks the amount of amylase in your bloodstream. Amylase helps break down carbohydrates, and levels can change with certain pancreatic, salivary, or abdominal conditions.

What it measures

  • Amylase — reflects the amount of this enzyme in the blood, which can be influenced by the pancreas and salivary glands
  • Total amylase — combines pancreatic and salivary sources of the enzyme
  • Pancreatic amylase (if measured) — a more specific form that can help distinguish pancreatic from other sources

What the test involves

A healthcare professional collects a small blood sample, usually from a vein in your arm, using a standard blood draw. In some cases, a urine sample may also be collected to measure amylase levels.

Why it is often ordered

A clinician may order this test to help investigate symptoms such as upper abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting that could relate to the pancreas or other digestive organs. It is also sometimes used to monitor a known pancreatic condition or to help assess certain abdominal concerns.

Preparation

Your preparation depends on the specific lab and the reason for testing, so follow the instructions provided by the collection site. Ask the lab whether fasting or any medication changes are needed before your sample is taken.

How results are reported

Results are typically reported as a numeric value along with a reference range from the testing laboratory. Reference ranges can vary between labs, so your result should always be interpreted using the range provided with your report.

Before you go

  • Whether fasting or any dietary restrictions are required before the sample collection
  • Which medications or supplements you should mention or temporarily adjust, based on the lab's guidance
  • How and when your results will be shared with you and your ordering provider
