Urinary amylase, primarily the form of amylase present in urine. Amylase is normally produced by the pancreas and parotid glands, circulated through the blood, and excreted in urine through the kidneys. In pathological conditions, urinary amylase levels may change due to changes in amylase production, excretion, and storage status. Urine amylase increased, can be used for auxiliary examination, diagnosis of pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, mumps, peptic ulcer perforation, mechanical intestinal obstruction, biliary tract disease, acute cholangitis, etc.; can also assess the recovery of pancreatitis patients; most of them are to assess the severity of pancreatitis.
