The normal value of amylase is 0~150U/L, amylase significantly more than 150U/L or more, and has been more than three times, often suggests acute pancreatitis or biliary origin disease.
1. Acute pancreatitis: blood amylase is mainly secreted by pancreas and parotid gland, when the patient has a large amount of alcohol or overeating, pancreatic enzyme is abnormally activated in the pancreas, which can cause pancreatic tissue auto-digestion, and a large number of normal pancreatic tissue cells are destroyed, and blood amylase enters into the bloodstream, which will lead to the acute elevation of amylase.
2. Biliary diseases: Some biliary diseases can also cause abnormal elevation of amylase, such as cholecystitis and gallbladder stones. Biliary tract diseases can lead to obstruction of the excretory channels after amylase secretion, so that amylase accumulates and cannot be excreted, thus resulting in elevated amylase.
When amylase is acutely elevated, it is necessary to be alert to the occurrence of acute pancreatitis or biliary origin disease, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, make a clear diagnosis, and carry out treatment under the guidance of a professional physician, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
