What is ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE?

The Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) test measures the level of ALP enzyme in your blood. ALP is found throughout the body, but mainly in the liver, bones, kidneys, and digestive system.

Why is this test important?

Abnormal ALP levels can indicate various health issues, including liver disease, bone disorders, or problems with the bile ducts. This test helps doctors screen for and monitor these conditions.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
