Alkaline phosphatase (ALP)

160.00

An alkaline phosphatase (ALP) test measures the amount of ALP in your blood. Although ALP exists throughout your body, the two main sources of ALP in your blood are your liver and bones. High levels of ALP may indicate liver disease or certain bone disorders, but an ALP test alone cannot diagnose a condition.

There are two main types of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) blood tests: a general ALP (the more common test) and an ALP isoenzyme test.

A general ALP test is usually included in a blood test known as a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) and a liver panel (HFP or LFT).

Whereas an ALP test just measures the level of ALP in your blood, an ALP isoenzyme test can differentiate between types of alkaline phosphatase based on where they originated in your body.
