Why is an alkaline phosphatase test done?
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme that is released by all the tissues of the body. Higher amounts are found in bone tissues, liver tissues, and blue duct tissues. While the exact functioning of this enzyme is not known, abnormal levels have indicated disorders of vital organs.
An alkaline phosphatase test is often suggested by doctors to ascertain if the symptoms shown by the patients are pertaining to liver damage or another organ malfunctioning is causing the problems faced by the patient. Bone disorders are also measured by checking the results of the bone alkaline phosphatase test. When patients start showing the following symptoms, they are suggested an alkaline phosphatase test:

The alkaline phosphatase test is used to check if the ailments due to the improper functioning of the liver or other organ disorders are causing the symptoms to arise.

THINGS TO KNOW AFTER GETTING TESTED
Interpreting the Alkaline Phosphatase Test results
Once the results for the alkaline phosphatase test are received, the levels measured in the sample should be checked against the normal level indicator. The enzyme is measured in units per liter (U/L). The range differs in adults and children. In adults, the normal range is between 33 U/L to 96 U/L, in children, the normal range should be under 350 U/L. In women, the levels change as per the stage of their pregnancy.
