What a high Amylase means, and common causes

Amylase is raised, which in someone with severe upper abdominal pain suggests acute pancreatitis.

Common causes: Acute pancreatitis, gallstones, salivary gland infection such as mumps, perforated ulcer, kidney failure, and some medicines.

What a low Amylase means, and common causes

A low amylase is rarely significant.

Common causes: Chronic pancreatitis with extensive damage, and severe liver disease.

Frequently asked questions

Roughly 30 to 110 U/L.

Yes for pancreatitis. Lipase stays raised longer and is more specific to the pancreas, since amylase also comes from salivary glands.
