Amylase (24 Hrs Urine) measures the amount of amylase enzyme eliminated in urine over a full 24-hour period. Amylase is produced mainly by the pancreas and salivary glands and helps in carbohydrate digestion. This test is particularly useful in evaluating pancreatic diseases such as acute or chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic obstruction, and some salivary gland disorders. Compared to serum amylase, the 24-hour urine amylase test reflects enzyme excretion over time, improving diagnostic accuracy in certain clinical conditions.
