Pancreas Test in Austin, Texas

Same day and Affordable Pancreas Test, Locations Nationwide

Request A Test offers a convenient and affordable Pancreas Test in Austin, TX. There are two widely used blood tests to diagnose pancreatitis or other pancreas ailments. They are the Amylase and Lipase tests. For pancreatic cancer, the Cancer Antigen CA 19-9 is a tumor marker test.

The Amylase Test measures levels of amylase which is an enzyme produced by the pancreas that aids in digestion. It's normal for low levels of amylase to be present in the blood. However, if the pancreas or salivary glands are damaged, more amylase is released. Elevated levels of Amylase can indicate a number of conditions such as pancreatitis, pancreatic tumor, or gallstones blocking the pancreatic duct.

The Lipase Test measures the amount of lipase, an enzyme also produced by the pancreas. Lipase aids in digestion by helping to breakdown dietary fats. High amounts of lipase can indicate damage to the pancreas or blockage in the pathway between the pancreas and the small intestine by a gallstone or tumor.

The Cancer Antigen (CA) 19-9 Test is often used to aid in the diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer. CA 19-9 is a protein found on the surface of some cancer cells. CA 19-9 is elevated in about 70-95% of pancreatic cancer cases. It can also be elevated in cases of colorectal cancer, lung cancer and gallbladder cancer. While a CA 19-9 test can be used to differentiate types of cancer or monitor response to treatment, it is not sensitive enough to be used as an initial screening by itself.
