How is Amylase Measurement Used in Diagnosing Conditions?
Amylase levels are measured using blood or urine tests. Elevated amylase can indicate acute pancreatitis, but it can also be a sign of other conditions such as mumps, intra-abdominal conditions, and even macroamylasemia. In toxicology, these measurements are critical for diagnosing and managing conditions resulting from toxic substance exposure.
