The ALP test, or alkaline phosphatase test, is a medical test that measures the amount of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the blood. ALP is an enzyme that is found throughout the body and is commonly used to diagnose liver damage or bone disorders. The ALP test can be used for screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of various health conditions. Low levels of ALP can indicate a deficiency in zinc and magnesium, as well as a rare genetic disease called hypophosphatasia. High levels of ALP in the blood may indicate liver disease or certain bone disorders. The ALP test is often used to screen for or help diagnose diseases of the liver or bones. It can also be used to monitor other health conditions.
