Test Details
The ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE (ALP) ISOENZYMES test is a laboratory test that measures the different forms of alkaline phosphatase in the blood. Alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme found in various tissues throughout the body, including the liver, bones, intestines, and placenta.
The ALP isoenzymes test is used to differentiate between the different sources of elevated alkaline phosphatase levels. By measuring the levels of different isoenzymes, the test can help determine if the elevated ALP is due to liver disease, bone disorders, or other conditions.
The test involves drawing a blood sample from the patient and sending it to a laboratory for analysis. The laboratory will separate the different isoenzymes of alkaline phosphatase and measure their levels. The results are usually reported as a ratio or percentage of the different isoenzymes.
Elevated levels of ALP can indicate various conditions, such as liver disease (hepatitis, cirrhosis), bone disorders (osteoporosis, Paget’s disease), or certain cancers (liver, bone). The ALP isoenzymes test can help narrow down the cause of the elevated ALP and guide further diagnostic testing or treatment.
It is important to note that the ALP isoenzymes test is often used in conjunction with other liver function tests and diagnostic imaging to make a definitive diagnosis. It is not a standalone test for any specific condition. The interpretation of the results should be done by a healthcare professional.
