Description
Ullah, Chishti, Junaid, and Sarwar systematically review urinary amylase for diagnosing acute pancreatitis, in a review from twenty twenty-five. Blood enzymes can normalize too fast or stay normal in some cases. Urine tests offer a longer window and easier sampling. Thirteen studies from twenty ten to twenty twenty-five are synthesized.
Sensitivity ranges from about sixty-three to one hundred percent across studies. Urinary markers often match or beat blood enzymes in accuracy. High negative predictive value makes urine tests strong for ruling out disease. Non-invasive, rapid, repeatable testing suits emergency and low-resource settings. Standard protocols and multicenter validation are still recommended.
