Description

The Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) test measures the levels of ALP enzyme in the blood. Elevated levels may indicate liver or bone disorders, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, or bone diseases like Paget’s disease or osteomalacia. Low levels are less common but may indicate malnutrition or hypophosphatasia. This test aids in diagnosing and monitoring liver and bone conditions, guiding treatment decisions, and assessing treatment effectiveness for improved patient care.
