Test Details

Alkaline Phosphatase is an enzyme mainly present in the liver, bones, kidneys, and intestines. It plays an important role in phosphate metabolism and bone growth, and assists the liver in bile secretion. Elevated ALP levels may indicate liver or bile duct problems, or increased bone activity such as growth in children or bone diseases. ALP testing is used to assess liver and bone health and to diagnose related medical conditions.

High ALP is usually caused by liver diseases, bile duct obstruction, or increased bone activity such as growth in children or bone disorders.
Low ALP is rare and may occur in malnutrition or certain genetic conditions affecting enzyme production.
Associated diseases include chronic liver disease, bile duct obstruction, bone diseases like rickets or metabolic bone disorders, and some rare inherited conditions.
Bones directly affect ALP levels, which rise during bone growth or bone repair.
