Alkaline Phosphatase

The Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) test is a routine blood test that measures the level of the ALP enzyme in your bloodstream. ALP is mainly found in the liver, bones, kidneys, and digestive system. It plays an important role in breaking down proteins and supporting bone growth. This test is often ordered to evaluate liver function, detect bile duct blockages, or assess bone disorders such as rickets, fractures, or osteoporosis. High levels of ALP may indicate liver disease, bile obstruction, or bone conditions, while low levels can suggest nutritional deficiencies or certain genetic disorders. Doctors usually combine the ALP test with other liver function tests for accurate diagnosis and monitoring.
