Measures amylase enzyme levels to evaluate pancreatic function and digestive health. Amylase is an enzyme produced primarily by the pancreas and salivary glands that helps digest starch. Elevated amylase levels can indicate pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), pancreatic duct obstruction, or other abdominal conditions. It's commonly ordered alongside lipase for a more complete assessment of pancreatic function. **Clinical use:** Digestive health testing helps identify malabsorption, food sensitivities, gut inflammation, and conditions like celiac disease that can drive a wide range of GI and systemic symptoms. ## Who should order it? Anyone with chronic digestive symptoms (bloating, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain), unexplained nutrient deficiencies, or unexplained weight loss. ## Biomarkers measured - [Amylase](https://www.test-well.com/biomarkers/amylase) ## Price by lab | Lab | Test price | All-in (with $6 fee) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Quest Diagnostics | $21.99 | $27.99 | Choose at checkout; walk-in patient service centers nationwide (not NY/NJ) | | Labcorp | $21.99 | $27.99 | Choose at checkout; walk-in patient service centers nationwide (not NY/NJ) | Rhode Island is not served.
