Amylase, Body Fluid
Clinical Information: Amylases are a group of hydrolases that degrade complex carbohydrates into
fragments. Amylase is produced by the exocrine pancreas and the salivary glands to aid in the digestion
of starch. It is also produced by the small intestine mucosa, ovaries, placenta, liver, and fallopian tubes.
Useful For: Evaluation of patients suspected of having acute pancreatitis. If ascites are present, it is
occasionally used to demonstrate pancreatic inflammation. If this is true, the level will be at least ten
times that of serum.
Interpretation: No control range has been obtained so interpretation is qualitative and thought to be
positive for pancreatitis if >1,100 U/L (10 times the serum normal range).
