An Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) Test measures the levels of alkaline phosphatase enzyme in your blood. ALP is found in many tissues throughout the body, with the highest concentrations in the liver, bile ducts, and bones.
Why is the Alkaline Phosphatase Test Important?
- Liver Health: Elevated ALP levels can indicate liver disease or bile duct obstruction.
- Bone Health: High levels may also suggest bone disorders, such as osteoporosis or Paget's disease.
- Gallbladder: Issues with the gallbladder can also cause elevated ALP levels.
- Overall Health: Abnormal ALP levels can help diagnose and monitor various health conditions affecting the liver or bones.
When Should You Get an Alkaline Phosphatase Test?
- Liver Disease Symptoms: If experiencing jaundice, abdominal pain, or unexplained weight loss.
- Bone Pain: If there are signs of bone disorders like pain or deformities.
- Routine Health Check: As part of a liver function test or comprehensive metabolic panel.
- Monitoring Known Conditions: For ongoing management of liver or bone diseases.
