What is Alkaline Phosphatase with Bone Fraction Ostase?

This test measures the total Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) and specifically the bone-specific fraction, often referred to as Ostase. The Ostase component is a direct indicator of bone formation activity.

Why is this test important?

It's particularly useful for assessing bone health, monitoring bone-related conditions like osteoporosis, and evaluating the effectiveness of treatments for bone diseases. Elevated Ostase levels can indicate increased bone turnover.

How to Prepare

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