Amylasuria
Definition
The presence and elimination of the amylase enzyme in the urine; a clinical laboratory medical test that measures the renal clearance and activity of excreted amylase. Because amylase is a low-molecular-weight protein filtered by the glomerulus, monitoring this structural parameter is essential in diagnosing acute pancreatic disorders, as its level remains elevated in urine (hyperamylasuria) for several days even after blood levels have returned to normal.
