ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE
About test
What does ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE measure?
This test measures alkaline phosphatase (ALP), an enzyme found mainly in the liver, bile ducts, and bones. It may be used to help evaluate liver or bile duct function and to assess conditions that affect bone activity or growth. ALP results are interpreted alongside symptoms, medical history, and other laboratory tests, as levels can vary with age and other clinical factors.
