# '''''Blood serum amylase'''''- Blood serum amylase may be measured for purposes of medical diagnosis. A normal concentration is in the range 21-101 U/L. A higher than normal concentration may reflect one of several medical conditions, including acute inflammation of the pancreas. When the pancreas is diseased or inflamed, amylase is released into the blood. Blood serum amylase can also aid in diagnosing a perforated peptic ulcer, torsion of an ovarian cyst, strangulation ileus, macroamylasemia and mumps. Amylase may be measured in other body fluids, including urine and peritoneal fluid. | #1. '''''Blood serum amylase'''''- Blood serum amylase may be measured for purposes of medical diagnosis.
