Article: The only real way to lower your amylase levels is to treat the underlying condition that caused them to spike. If a recent blood test showed that you have hyperamylasemia, talk to your doctor to see what additional testing is necessary to determine the cause. Pancreatitis, tumors, gallbladder infections, kidney infections, and the use of certain medications are all common causes of increased amylase levels. Additional testing may include further blood tests, a urine test, and an ultrasound or CAT scan of your abdomen. If your elevated amylase levels are caused by pancreatitis, you will need to work with your health care practitioner to develop a treatment and management plan. Initially, you may be asked to fast, take pain medication, and receive IV fluids to manage your inflammation. Once your pancreatitis is under control, your health care practitioner will help treat the underlying cause. Depending on the cause, treatment may include surgery to remove bile obstructions, gallbladder surgery, pancreas surgery or treatment for alcohol dependence. Cholecystitis is an inflammation of the gallbladder, usually caused by gallstones or infection. If your amylase levels are elevated due to gallbladder complications, your doctor may recommend a conservative management plan, pain management for gallstones, and/or surgery to remove your gallbladder. A conservative management plan may include fasting to minimize strain on your gallbladder, receiving IV fluids, and taking medication to manage pain symptoms. Gallstone removal isn't recommended in all cases. Once you have your initial inflammation under control, your doctor may recommend additional testing and analysis to see if removal is recommended. If your elevated amylase levels are due to a kidney infection, your doctor will likely prescribe antibiotics to treat your infection. Take the medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. In addition, your doctor may recommend additional fluids to prevent dehydration and fever. The amount of fluids you need will differ depending on your overall health, your symptoms, and your medical history. Talk to your doctor about the right fluid intake for you. Be sure to take your full course of antibiotics, even if you start feeling better before your course is complete. If your symptoms cause extensive diarrhea, abdominal pain, a fever, or rashes, or if they impact your ability to eat, seek immediate medical care. These could be signs of an acute infection or other serious medical conditions that need immediate treatment.
