Amylase is an enzyme primarily used in the evaluation of pancreatic function and is most commonly measured when acute pancreatitis is suspected. Increased levels may also be seen in other conditions, including renal impairment and macroamylasemia.

The findings related to these particular clinical tests are a general guide and do not cover every possible scenario, this is because every patient is unique and these results only have true clinical significance when combined with the patient’s full medical history, a physical exam, and other diagnostic findings.
