An Amylase test may be ordered when a person exhibits symptoms of pancreatitis (an infection of the pancreas). These symptoms include severe abdominal or back pain, nausea, fever or loss of appetite.
As an example, serum amylase and lipase levels may be elevated in patients with renal failure. (See Serum enzymes in patients with renal failure .). â Organs other than the pancreas can produce these enzymes. Alcoholics, for example, may have an elevated serum amylase of salivary origin. The most commonly used amylase assays cannot differentiate between salivary and pancreatic amylase. â Certain serum factors influence amylase and lipase enzyme activity. As an example, patients with pancreatitis due to hypertriglyceridemia may appear to have normal amylase levels, most likely due to a circulating factor that inhibits the enzyme's activity [ 5 ].
