Hello.
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
Serum Amylase levels are increased in case of pancreatitis which is an infection of pancreas.Along with these investigations you should also go for an ultrasound scan of whole abdomen to rule out any other cause. Take plenty of fluids, light meals and antibiotics.
