    GlossaryAlkaline Phosphatase (ALP)

    enzyme that breaks down proteins in various body tissues

    Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme found in various tissues throughout the body, including the liver, bones, kidneys, and digestive system. It plays a crucial role in breaking down proteins and is often measured in blood tests to help diagnose liver disease, bone disorders, and other conditions. Elevated or decreased levels of ALP can indicate issues such as liver damage, bone growth abnormalities, or bile duct obstructions.
