ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE

What is an Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) Test?

An Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) Test is a blood test that measures the level of alkaline phosphatase, an enzyme found mainly in the liver, bones, kidneys, and digestive system. This enzyme plays an important role in bone growth and liver function.

An ALP test is suggested by doctors in JAIPUR when there is a need to assess the health of the liver or diagnose any bone disorder. Abnormal ALP levels could be a sign of issues associated with the liver or bones.

The test requires a simple blood sample and is commonly included in routine health check-ups and liver function assessments.
