About this test
A blood test that measures amylase, an enzyme made mainly by the pancreas and the salivary glands that helps break down starch in food. Blood is drawn from a vein in the arm.
A raised level can point to inflammation of the pancreas, called pancreatitis, or to a problem in the salivary glands. Doctors read it alongside symptoms and other tests rather than on its own.
