Diagnostic Blood Test:

• Amylase

Amylase is an essential enzyme involved in the breakdown of carbohydrates, particularly starches, into simpler sugars like maltose and dextrin. It is primarily produced in the pancreas and the salivary glands, playing a crucial role in the digestive process. Measuring amylase levels in the blood provides valuable insights into the functioning of the pancreas and can aid in the diagnosis of various medical conditions.
