What is Alkaline Phosphatase Isoenzymes Electrophoresis?

This test separates different forms (isoenzymes) of Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) found in your blood. By identifying the specific types of ALP, it helps pinpoint which organ or tissue is the source of an elevated total ALP level.

Why is this test important?

While a standard ALP test shows a general elevation, isoenzyme electrophoresis provides more detailed information. It's crucial for differentiating between liver disease, bone disorders, or other conditions when the total ALP is high.

How to Prepare

Fasting for 8-12 hours may be required. Please confirm specific instructions with your healthcare provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fast before my blood test?▼
It depends on the test. Tests like lipid profile and fasting blood sugar require 10-12 hours of fasting. Tests like CBC, vitamin D, and thyroid do not require fasting. Each test page on our website clearly states the fasting requirements.
