What is an Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) Test?

The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) test is a blood test that measures the level of ALP enzyme in your blood. This enzyme is found mainly in the liver, bones, and bile ducts.

The ALP test in the Philippines is commonly used to evaluate liver function, detect bile duct problems, and assess bone health.

Why is this test done?

The ALP test is recommended to:

• Assess liver and bile duct function
• Detect liver disease or bile obstruction
• Evaluate bone disorders or abnormal bone activity
• Monitor conditions affecting the liver or bones
• Support diagnosis alongside other liver function tests
