  2. Macroamylasemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macroamylasemia

    Macroamylasemia is the presence of macroamylase in the blood. Macroamylase is a complex of the enzyme amylase bound to other proteins forming a larger molecule. [1] Macroamylase is typically composed of immunoglobulin A (IgA, 70%) and less often of immunoglobulin G (IgG, 30%). The association of amylase with some drugs has also been reported. [2]

  3. α-Amylase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Α-Amylase

    The starch iodine test, a development of the iodine test, is based on colour change, as α-amylase degrades starch and is commonly used in many applications. A similar but industrially produced test is the Phadebas amylase test, which is used as a qualitative and quantitative test within many industries, such as detergents, various flour, grain ...

  4. Amylase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amylase

    An amylase (/ ˈ æ m ɪ l eɪ s /) is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of starch (Latin amylum) into sugars.Amylase is present in the saliva of humans and some other mammals, where it begins the chemical process of digestion.

  5. Reference ranges for blood tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_ranges_for_blood...

    Reference ranges (reference intervals) for blood tests are sets of values used by a health professional to interpret a set of medical test results from blood samples. Reference ranges for blood tests are studied within the field of clinical chemistry (also known as "clinical biochemistry", "chemical pathology" or "pure blood chemistry"), the ...

  6. Pancreatitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancreatitis

    Other causes include high levels of blood fats, high blood calcium, some medications, and certain genetic disorders, such as cystic fibrosis, among others. [1] Smoking increases the risk of both acute and chronic pancreatitis. [3] [4] Diagnosis of acute pancreatitis is based on a threefold increase in the blood of either amylase or lipase. [1]

  7. Blood test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_test

    A blood test is a laboratory analysis performed on a blood sample that is usually extracted from a vein in the arm using a hypodermic needle, or via fingerprick. Multiple tests for specific blood components, such as a glucose test or a cholesterol test , are often grouped together into one test panel called a blood panel or blood work .

  8. Forensic serology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forensic_serology

    A presumptive test to detect saliva is the alpha-amylase test also known as the Phadebas Test. [4] This detection technique is based on the activity of the enzyme alpha-amylase which breaks down starches from food into smaller oligosaccharide molecules, starting digestion in the mouth. [ 11 ]

  9. Phadebas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phadebas

    The Phadebas Forensic Press test is used as a presumptive test for saliva. [5] Phadebas may be used to find saliva as a DNA source, or to identify the origin of a stain. The test is performed by placing paper bound with the Phadebas substrate to a sample, and applying pressure. [5]
