Amylasemia
Definition
The presence and concentration of the amylase enzyme in the circulating blood; a clinical laboratory medical test that measures the activity of serum amylase. The evaluation of this biological constant is an essential emergency investigation in diagnosing acute abdominal syndromes, as its sudden increase (hyperamylasemia) signals damage to the pancreatic tissue or salivary glands.
