    GlossaryAlkaline Phosphatase Activity

    enzyme function indicating liver or bone health

    Alkaline Phosphatase Activity (ALP Activity) refers to the function of the enzyme alkaline phosphatase, which is found in various tissues throughout the body, including the liver, bones, kidneys, and digestive system. This enzyme plays a crucial role in breaking down proteins and is often measured in blood tests to assess liver function, bone health, and to diagnose certain medical conditions. Elevated or decreased levels of ALP can indicate issues such as liver disease, bone disorders, or other health problems.
