About Olympus ALP Reagent 3P ALP R1 Alkaline Phosphatase Reagent Beckman Coulter OSR6004 for ALP Test
Measurements of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (EC 3.1.3.1) are used in the diagnosis of hepatobiliary disorders and bone disease associated with increased osteoblastic activity. Certain conditions such as Hodgkin’s Disease, congestive heart failure and ulcerative colitis will produce moderate elevation in alkaline phosphatase levels. Non-pathologic elevations can be observed in third trimester of pregnancy.
Olympus ALP Reagent 3P ALP R1 Alkaline Phosphatase Reagent Beckman Coulter OSR6004 for ALP Test Methodology
This ALP procedure is based on the method developed by Bowers and McComb2 and has been formulated as recommended by the AACC and IFCC.
Alkaline phosphatase activity is determined by measuring the rate of conversion of p-nitro-phenylphosphate (pNPP) in the presence of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) at pH 10.4.
What is an (ALP Test) Alkaline Phosphatase Test?
An alkaline phosphatase (ALP) test measures the amount of ALP in your blood. ALP is an enzyme found in many parts of your body. Each part of your body produces a different type of ALP. Most ALP is found in your liver, bones, kidneys, and digestive system.
Abnormal levels of ALP in your blood may be a sign of a wide range of health conditions, including liver disease, bone disorders, and chronic kidney disease. But an alkaline phosphatase test alone can’t identify the source of ALP in your blood, so other tests are usually needed to make a diagnosis.
Other names: ALP, ALK, PHOS, Alkp, ALK PHOS
What is (ALP Test) Alkaline Phosphatase Test used for?
An alkaline phosphatase test is often used to screen for or help diagnose diseases of the liver or bones. The test may also help diagnose or monitor other health conditions.
What do the (ALP Test) Alkaline Phosphatase Test results mean?
High alkaline phosphatase test (ALP Test) levels may be a sign of a liver problem or a bone disorder. Liver problems and bone disorders cause different types of ALP. But your test results can’t tell which type of ALP is high.
If your test results show high ALP levels, your provider may order other tests to help figure out what’s causing the problem. These tests may include:
- An ALP isoenzyme test. This test can tell which part of your body is making the ALP. But this test may not available everywhere.
- Liver function tests. If the results of these tests are also high, then your high ALP level is likely from a problem in your liver.
High alkaline phosphatase levels from your liver may be a sign of:
- Blockages in the bile ducts
- Cirrhosis
- Hepatitis
- Mononucleosis, which can sometimes cause swelling in the liver
If alkaline phosphatase levels are high and the results of liver tests are normal, the problem may be a bone disorder, such as Paget’s disease of bone. This disease makes your bones unusually large and weak, causing them to break more easily.
Moderately high levels of ALP may be a sign of a many different types of conditions, including Hodgkin lymphoma, heart failure, or certain infections.
It’s possible to have higher than normal levels of ALP and not have a medical condition that needs treatment. Your provider will consider your symptoms, medical history, and other test results to make a diagnosis.
Low levels of ALP are less common. They may be a sign of a lack of zinc, malnutrition, pernicious anemia, thyroid disease, Wilson disease or hypophosphatasia, a rare genetic disease that affects bones and teeth.
