hi i was told by my gp that my amylase was high and so was asked to stop drinking alcohol for 3 months. After three months and all sorts of blood,urine,scans and stool tests my amylase was still high.I am not in pain of any sort and told by the consultant that its all okay and not to worry. I am not full happy with this situation and would be grateful for your expert advise
Hi, The pancreatitis will increase amylase. The common cause of pancreatitis is alcohol. Also, increased by infection of pancreas, benign and malignancy of pancreas, obstruction in the pancreas. Doing a CT abdomen, liver function test can help you diagnose the cause. If you check the same test in the different lab may help you find lab errors. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
