Why This Biomarker Matters
Liver-specific ALP elevation signals potential liver disease or bile duct obstruction. Distinguishing liver ALP from bone ALP helps doctors identify the underlying cause of elevated ALP.

Overview
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme produced mainly by the liver and bones. This test specifically measures liver-derived ALP through a heat stability method, helping distinguish liver ALP from bone ALP. Elevated liver ALP may indicate liver disease, gallstones, or cholestasis. This specialized test helps pinpoint the organ source of elevated ALP results.
