What is the Alkaline Phosphatase assay used for?
What is Alkaline Phosphatase?
Alkaline Phosphatase is an enzyme found in the liver, bone, kidney, digestive system and bowel tissues. The highest concentrations of Alkaline Phosphatase are contained within the tissues that make up the bone and liver.
What is the Alkaline Phosphatase assay used for?
The Alkaline Phosphatase test can be used to diagnose and monitor liver disease and damage including liver cancer, cirrhosis and hepatitis.
Alkaline Phosphatase can also be used to diagnose and monitor bone damage and disease including cancers that have spread to the bone, Paget’s disease which affects how the bones grow, and issues associated with Vitamin D deficiencies.
For more information on the incidence and natural history of Paget’s disease of the bone in England and Wales, please click here [external link].
The Randox Alkaline Phosphatase tests can also be carried out to determine the root cause of elevated alkaline phosphatase in the blood as well as to monitor liver damage as the result of therapeutic treatment or prescribed drugs that can have implications on the liver.
