Profile Information

Test ID Reporting Name Available Separately Always Performed
AMYSE Amylase, Total, S Yes, (Order AMS) Yes
AMYPA Amylase, Pancreatic, S No Yes
AMYSA Amylase, Salivary, S No Yes

Testing Algorithm

Total and pancreatic amylase are measured in the submitted serum specimen. Salivary amylase is calculated as the difference between the two measured results (salivary amylase = total amylase-pancreatic amylase).

Forms

If not ordering electronically, complete, print, and send Gastroenterology and Hepatology Test Request (T728) with the specimen.
