Testing your Alkaline Phosphatase level helps check bone health and can identify potential issues causing fractures or high calcium levels. This test measures an enzyme that increases when there is bone growth or damage, or issues with the liver or bile ducts. Knowing your level helps your doctor understand the underlying cause of your symptoms.

Finding the cause(s) of:

  • Fractures: Elevated Alkaline Phosphatase can indicate increased bone turnover or bone diseases, which may contribute to fractures.
  • High calcium levels: Certain bone conditions that cause high Alkaline Phosphatase can also be associated with high calcium levels, helping to pinpoint the cause.
