The Amylase test measures the amount of amylase enzyme - produced mainly by the pancreas and salivary glands and helps in the digestion of carbohydrates. This test is commonly used to detect and monitor conditions like pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) and other pancreatic disorders. Elevated or decreased levels of amylase can help doctors understand if there is a problem with the pancreas or other related organs.
