The enzyme alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is present in various forms and is increased in disease of liver, bone, intestine and kidney disorders.

The level of this enzyme increases in rickets, osteomalacia, obstructive liver diseases, hyperparathyroidism, post-fracture and malignant tumours. Liver disease may be genetic or it may be caused by several factors, including viral infection, obesity, or alcohol consumption. Over time scarring of the liver tissue occurs leading to cirrhosis, which may be life-threatening.
