What is Alkaline Phosphatase ?
The Serum Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) test measures the level of alkaline phosphatase in the blood. ALP is an enzyme found in various tissues throughout the body, including the liver, bones, kidneys, and bile ducts. Elevated levels of ALP can indicate liver disease, bone disorders, or other health conditions. Clinicians may order a Serum Alkaline Phosphatase test to: Assess liver function, as high ALP levels can signal liver conditions such as cholestasis, liver tumors, or bile duct obstructions. Evaluate bone health, since elevated ALP can also indicate bone diseases like Paget's disease, osteomalacia, or bone cancers. Monitor kidney function, as ALP levels can rise in certain kidney conditions.
