The Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) test measures the level of alkaline phosphatase, an enzyme found primarily in the liver, bile ducts, and bones. ALP plays a role in bone formation and bile flow.
This test is commonly used to evaluate liver and biliary tract health, as well as bone disorders. Elevated ALP levels may be associated with bile duct obstruction, liver disease, bone growth or turnover, or certain metabolic conditions. Results are often interpreted alongside other liver enzymes and clinical findings for accurate assessment.
