Amylase Price in Bangladesh

What is Amylase?

Amylase is an enzyme that helps break down carbohydrates into simpler sugars. It is primarily produced by the pancreas and salivary glands.

The Amylase test measures the level of amylase in the blood or urine and is commonly used to diagnose pancreatic disorders, such as acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, or pancreatic cancer. It is also used to evaluate conditions like salivary gland infections or gastrointestinal issues.

The test is performed using a blood or urine sample, and the risks are minimal, generally involving slight discomfort during the blood draw. Elevated amylase levels suggest pancreatic or digestive system issues.

What to expect & how to prepare

Amylase is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Amylase result rather than self-diagnosing.
