Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) test is a diagnostic test performed mostly to detect disorders affecting the hepatobiliary system. Disorders of bones, kidneys and placental dysfunction too can be detected by performing this test. Chemically, alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme which helps in protein metabolism.
Disorders like hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, osteomalacia, can be detected by performing ALP test. Malnutrition also tends to disturb levels of ALP due to erroneous protein metabolism. Levels of ALP are disturbed even in case of intestinal, hepatic, renal and pancreatic cancer. Patients who have already been diagnosed of any of the above mentioned disorders, may require to undergo ALP test at regular intervals as part of medical follow up.

Venous blood sample from patients is required to perform ALP test. This simple test is performed at most pathology labs. Patients are usually asked to refrain from eating or drinking anything at least 8 hours before the test. Therefore, ALP test is mostly conducted in the morning hours. Patients are asked to visit the pathology lab well in advance of the designated time. Alternatively, most pathology labs offer home sample collection services for patients' convenience. Blood is usually withdrawn from a vein in the arm and collected in a sterilized container. It takes about 6-8 hours after blood is withdrawn to obtain the test results.
ALP test can be done individually or as part of Liver Function Test (LFT). Normal range of ALP in a healthy adult is between 20-140 IU/L. Slight elevation of ALP levels is acceptable during pregnancy, since the enzyme is also synthesized by placenta. Physiologically, children tend to have higher levels of ALP than adults. Age, gender, stage of pregnancy, blood group and type, are some factors which determine normal ALP levels in a patient.
Along with ALP test, patients may also be asked to undergo abdominal or bone scans depending upon the symptoms they are experiencing. Other tests which may be advised to patients along with ALP include C.B.C., Pancreatic enzymes, Kidney Function Test (KFT), etc. ALP test is a simple procedure involving no more than 5-10 minutes to collect the blood sample. Patients should undergo the test only with a doctor's prescription.
