Serum Amylase

Serum Amylase 

40 to 140 units per liter (U/L) 

Amylase is an enzyme that helps digest carbohydrates. It is made primarily in the pancreas and the glands that make saliva and can be found at low levels in other parts of the body. When the pancreas is diseased or inflamed, it releases increased amounts of amylase into the blood.

Normal Results

The normal range is 40 to 140 units per litre (U/L) or 0.38 to 1.42 microkat/L (µkat/L).

What Abnormal Results Mean

Increased blood amylase levels may occur due to:

Acute pancreatitis

Cancer of the pancreas, ovaries, or lungs

Cholecystitis

Infection of the salivary glands (such as mumps) or a blockage of the salivary gland duct

Intestinal blockage

Macroamylasemia

Pancreatic or bile duct blockage

Perforated ulcer

Tubal pregnancy (may have burst open)

Viral hepatitis

Decreased amylase level may occur due to:

Bone fracture

Congestive heart failure

Damage to the pancreas with pancreatic scarring

Gastrointestinal cancer

Pregnancy.

Veins

Veins have valves which in time will become weak resulting in varicose veins eventually causing severe pain and ulcers.

The valves can be strengthened by procyanoanthedine present in the skin of fresh lime. Chew a piece every week and swallow...to mask the bitter taste maybe mixed with honey..to prevent varicose veins... especially in those if it runs in families. 

For those with severe varicose veins, I have treated them with daily half a lime skin and it completely disappeared.

When Punjab Chief Minister's Son Was Paraded On Underwear

Year, 1959, Place Amritsar. Some Indian Army Officers & their wives went to the Railway Station to see off one of their colleagues. Some goons made lewd remarks against the women & tried to molest them. The Army Officers chased the goons who took shelter in a nearby Cinema Theatre. The matter was reported to Commanding Officer Col Jyothi Mohan Sen. On learning about the incident, the Col ordered the Cinema Hall to be surrounded by troops. All the goons were dragged out, the leader of the goons was so heady and drunk with power; he was none other than the son of Chief Minister of Punjab, Pratap Singh Kairon, a close associate of the then PM, Jawahar Lal Nehru. All the goons were stripped to their underwear, paraded in the streets of Amritsar & later interned in the Cantonment. The next day, the Chief Minister became furious & tried to release his son from Indian Army's incarceration. Do you know what happened? His vehicle was not allowed to go into the Cantonment a...

Dear Friends! I am Dr P K Samantaray, MBBS, MD from AIIMS, New Delhi. I am working as Professor and HOD Psychiatry, at Jagjivan Ram Hospital, Mumbai. I would like to make a small request to you.

Our children, who are the future, are at a big risk. There is no fast food available in this country without Palm Oil. If you go to our grocery store and try to pick up a children's edible food without Palm oil - you will not succeed. You will be interested to know even the Biscuits of big companies are made from them, and similarly all chocolates. We are made ...

Sri Veereshwar Punyashrama: A unique gurukul

Sri Veereshwar Punyashrama: A unique gurukul institution with multiple contributions to the society Sri Veereshwar Punyashrama of Gadag district in the state of Karnataka is a household name in most of the regions belonging to North Karnataka and adjoining areas of neighboring states as well. The contributions of this revered religious and cultural institution to the society and humankind are endless and the list continues to keep on increasing till date. Although the founders and pontiffs of this Math happen to be Veerashiva-Lingayats that aspect just happens to be by coincidence considering the ground reality of people belonging to all faiths irrespective of their caste and religion being imparted with education. Interestingly 2018 happens to be a cherished year in the annals of the institutions as it has multiple feats to rejoice this year. It just celebrated a few milestones some time back. They include: 74 th  death anniversary of Ganayogi Shivayogi Panchakshara G...
