Frequently Asked Questions
This test is done to diagnose liver diseases, biliary diseases and bone disorders.
Alkaline phosphatase test measures levels of enzyme ALP in blood
Alkaline phosphatase test requires a blood sample. A tourniquet (elastic) band is placed tightly on the upper arm. The patient is then asked to make a fist. This helps in the build-up of blood filling the veins. The skin is disinfected before needle insertion and the blood sample is collected in vacutainer.
High levels of ALP are seen in:
Children during active bone formation, pregnant women, those with hepatobiliary disease like bile duct obstruction, hyperparathyroidism, chronic kidney disease, vitamin D deficiency, rickets, osteomalacia, bacterial infection and malignant tumour. ALP levels are not significantly increased in diseases affecting the liver parenchymal cells for e.g., viral hepatitis
Lowered levels of ALP are less common than elevated levels.
