The blood amylase test is ordered, often along with a lipase test, to help. diagnose and monitor acute or chronic pancreatitis (inflammation of the. pancreas) and other disorders that may involve the pancreas. A urine. amylase test may also be ordered.
1 The lipase test is more accurate than the amylase test for diagnosing pancreatitis. 2  Other blood tests that may be done at the same time as a test for lipase include calcium, glucose, phosphorus, triglycerides, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and creatinine.3  Calcium in Blood. 4  Blood Glucose.
