Amylase Pancreatic Alpha Urine Diastase

Amylase is an enzyme or protein that aids in digestion. A higher or lower amount may indicate a pancreatic problem, infection, alcoholism, or other medical condition.

An amylase urine test may be ordered in conjunction with or immediately following an amylase blood test. The presence of urine amylase can aid in diagnosing pancreatic and salivary gland diseases.

Why done? 

If your doctor suspects your pancreas isn't operating properly, this test may be required. Symptoms of pancreatic swelling (pancreatitis) include:

• unsettled stomach

• Vomiting

• Diarrhea

• Fever

• Fast pulse

• back pain

• Weight loss

Your clinician may want you to collect all your urine in one day. Taking multiple samples throughout the day may provide a more accurate picture. The lab will provide you with a container and detailed instructions for collecting samples at home.
