Can Amylase Levels Indicate Chronic Exposure to Toxins?
Chronic exposure to certain toxins may not always result in consistently elevated amylase levels. In some cases, repeated exposure may lead to chronic pancreatitis, where amylase levels might be normal or only slightly elevated. Therefore, while amylase can be a part of the diagnostic process, it is not definitive for chronic toxicity. Chronic toxicity assessments often require a comprehensive evaluation of clinical symptoms and other biomarkers.
