Does high Amylase levels have anything to do with Sjogrens Syndrome?

High amylase levels can sometimes be seen in Sjogren's syndrome due to involvement of the salivary glands. This can lead to inflammation and damage of the glands, causing leakage of enzymes like amylase into the bloodstream. However, high amylase levels can also be caused by other conditions, so further investigation is needed for a definitive diagnosis.
