A member asked:
I went to er with upper abdom pain. amylase was elevated but doctor said not pancreatitis. what could it be then?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need to examine: Mild elevation of amylase may be due to intestinal issues. It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests, including imaging studies. If your symptoms subside, let it be, if the pain persists you may go to a hospital near you. Abdominal pain is a broad category, you may visit this site for info: https://www.mayoclinic.org/symptom-checker/abdominal-pain-adult/related-factors/itt-20009075
