Description
See Also Amylase serum & urine 24 Hrs
Indications
This test is used in the diagnosis of hyperamylasaemia and renal insufficiency. Amylase testing is very useful in the diagnosis of macroamylasaemia, since high serum amylase levels with low urine amylase levels rule out the disease. Moreover, urinary amylase may indicate renal involvement in diabetics more sensitively than Microalbuminuria.
