General Information

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) - An enzyme of the hydrolase class, which mainly consists of three isoenzyme forms (hepatobiliary, bone, intestinal), which adds to the transient placental form detected during pregnancy.

Alkaline phosphatase catalyzes the secretion of phosphoric acid from its organic compounds; The enzyme is located on the cell membrane and participates in the transport of phosphorus.

When should we take the test?

Bone tissue pathology;
Diseases of the liver and bile ducts, including those accompanied by obstructive syndrome;
Hyperparathyroidism;
Tumors (alkaline phosphatase is a tumor marker - used as a detector of liver and bone metastases).

Possible interpretation of the results

Alkaline phosphatase concentration increases:

Bone tissue pathology (deformed osteitis, osteomalacia, Gaussian disease with bone resorption, osteosarcoma, tumor metastases to bone, fracture healing period);
Rocket;
Primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism;
Liver diseases (cirrhosis, necrosis of liver tissue, primary hepatocarcinoma, metastatic liver cancer, infectious, toxic, drug-induced hepatitis, sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, parasitic lesions);
Intra- and extrahepatic cholestasis (cholangitis, gallstones and gallstones, bile duct tumors);
Eating disorders (lack of calcium and phosphates in food);
Cytomegalovirus in children;
Infectious mononucleosis;
Pulmonary, renal infarction;
Physiological (in infants, in the period of rapid growth in children, in women in the last trimester of pregnancy and after menopause).

Alkaline phosphatase concentration decreases:

Hereditary hypophosphataemia;
Bone growth disorders (achondroplasia, cretinism, ascorbic acid deficiency);
Hypothyroidism;
Protein deficiency (kvashiorkor);
Lack of zinc and magnesium in food.
