Amylase near me in Ernakulam

An Amylase test is used to evaluate the levels of amylase enzyme (a type of digestive enzyme that helps your body to break down carbohydrates) made by the pancreas. It is available at an affordable price in Ernakulam with Tata 1mg Labs. An Amylase test is important to diagnose pancreas-related disorders such as pancreatitis (inflammation in the pancreas), blockages, and pancreas-associated chronic diseases. You may need this test if you experience upper abdominal pain radiating to the back, abdominal tenderness, nausea, pale stool, bloating, jaundice, rapid pulse, and fever.

High amylase levels may indicate pancreatitis (pancreas inflammation), blockage by a gallstone in the pancreatic duct, or, rarely, a pancreatic tumor. Conversely, low amylase levels may suggest health issues like liver disorders or cystic fibrosis. Additionally, your doctor may request this test to evaluate treatment response. No special preparation is required for a lipase test, and you can maintain your regular eating and drinking routine.
