The amount of amylase in your blood or urine is measured by an amylase test. Amylase is an enzyme (a type of protein) that aids in the digestion of food. The pancreas and salivary glands produce the majority of your amylase. It's normal to have a tiny quantity of amylase in your blood and urine. A higher or lower amount could indicate a pancreatic problem, an infection, alcoholism, or another medical disease.
