18 years and older 23-110 U/L

  Amylase, Percent Monomeric Greater than or equal to 71 percent

Interpretive Data

An amylase, monomeric result above the upper reference limit is consistent with hyperamylasemia. An amylase, percent monomeric less than 71 percent suggests the presence of macroamylase.

Amylase, monomeric is determined after ultrafiltration. Macroamylase is removed by ultrafiltration and is not measured.

For confirmation of macroamylasemia, consider ordering Amylase, Urine (ARUP test code 0020471).

This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by ARUP Laboratories. It has not been cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. This test was performed in a CLIA certified laboratory and is intended for clinical purposes.
