Is Amylase 152 high, normal or dangerous? What does Amylase level 152 mean?

📅 Medical Review Date: September 21, 2025

Your Amylase level of 152 is a High Amylase level.

An amylase level of 152 U/L usually means the pancreas is inflamed or damaged. It suggests pancreatitis. High levels of amylase can cause severe upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, rapid pulse, swollen abdomen, and back pain. This can be caused by acute pancreatitis, gallstones, alcohol abuse, or certain medications. Further tests are often needed to identify the cause and guide appropriate treatment.

High Amylase levels may indicate underlying health problems. The normal range is typically between 31 U/L and 110 U/L. If your levels are outside this range, it's important to speak with a healthcare provider. Consulting a doctor is recommended to determine the cause and appropriate next steps.

The normal Amylase range for men is :31 - 110 U/L

Misdiagnosis is more common than people think—and the consequences can be serious. Delayed treatment, unnecessary medication, or worse. If you want a second opinion on your blood work, one option is to upload it to a site like wholebodyprotocol.com, where world-class doctors review your results. They charge a small fee—around $90 (though you'll want to check the latest price as it fluctuates)—and email you a detailed report. With over 12 million people affected by misdiagnosis every year, that little bit of extra peace of mind can go a long way.

Some examples of conditions that increase or decrease Amylase levels include:

• Pre-eclampsia
• Kidney disease
• Obstructed intestine
• Decreased blood flow to the intestines
• Acute pancreatitis
