The Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), Serum test measures the level of ALP, an enzyme primarily found in the liver, bile ducts, bones, kidneys, and intestines. Elevated ALP levels may indicate liver disease, bile duct obstruction, bone disorders, or increased bone activity. This test is commonly used as part of liver function and bone health assessments and helps healthcare providers diagnose and monitor various medical conditions.
