Serum amylase level is used to assess damage to the:

Correct option is B

Ans. (b) Pancreas
Sol. Serum amylase is an enzyme produced primarily by the pancreas. Its levels in the blood rise significantly during acute pancreatitis. Therefore, it is commonly used as a diagnostic marker to assess pancreatic damage or inflammation.
Explanation of each option:
· (a) Liver – Assessed by ALT, AST, and bilirubin levels, not amylase.
· (b) Pancreas – Correct. Pancreatic inflammation increases serum amylase levels.
· (c) Stomach – Diagnosed via endoscopy or H. pylori tests, not serum amylase.
· (d) Intestine – Not directly related to serum amylase levels.
