Hello,
High amylase level indicates conditions like pancreatitis probably due to gallstones.
ERCP is required to visualise the bile tract and to look for any stones.
Nothing much to worry and your treatment is on the right track.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Shinas Hussain,
