Urine amylase

Introduction: in case of pancreatitis and other diseases, pancreatic amylase will enter the blood and be discharged from the urine due to inflammation of pancreatic tissue, which will increase the level of amylase in the blood and detect amylase in the urine So what is urine amylase? Have you heard about urine amylase? Xiaobian is the first time to hear it, so you don't know what urine amylase is So what is urine amylase? Next, let's introduce Baibai safety net in detail Urine amylase is the form of amylase in urine Normally, amylase produced by pancreas and parotid gland is excreted with urine through blood circulation and kidney Under the condition of disease, the content of amylase in urine will change due to the production, excretion and storage of amylase The detection of urine amylase can be used to assist in the diagnosis of pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, mumps, peptic ulcer perforation, mechanical intestinal obstruction, biliary obstruction, acute cholecystitis and other diseases; it can also be used to evaluate the recovery period of patients with pancreatitis The causes of high urinary amylase mainly include pancreatic diseases and non pancreatic diseases Pancreatic diseases include acute pancreatitis, acute attack of chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cyst, pancreatic cancer, etc.; non pancreatic diseases include mumps, peptic ulcer perforation, mechanical intestinal obstruction, biliary obstruction, acute cholecystitis, etc These diseases lead to inflammatory damage of pancreatic tissue or obstruction of pancreatic juice excretion, resulting in high urinary amylase Disease factors acute pancreatitis, pancreatic trauma, pancreatic tumor, pancreatic abscess, pancreatic cancer and other causes can lead to pancreatic tissue damage, thus releasing a large amount of amylase, resulting in high urinary amylase Non pancreatic diseases, such as mumps, peptic ulcer perforation, mechanical intestinal obstruction, biliary obstruction, acute cholecystitis, can cause the increase and leakage of amylase, resulting in the high level of urine amylase The above is the knowledge about urine amylase compiled by Xiaobian I hope it can help you who are interested Do you want to know more about amylase?
