Alkaline Phospatase (ALP) (NHC)
Only ₹90

The Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) test measures the level of alkaline phosphatase, an enzyme found primarily in the liver, bile ducts, and bones. ALP plays an important role in bone formation, mineral metabolism, and liver function. Higher ALP levels are normally seen during childhood and adolescence due to bone growth, and may also increase during pregnancy. Abnormal ALP levels can indicate conditions affecting the liver, bile ducts, or bones, making this test an important tool in diagnosing and monitoring these disorders.
The ALP (NHC) test is recommended for individuals with jaundice, abdominal pain, bone pain, frequent fractures, fatigue, or abnormal liver function tests. It is commonly used to diagnose and monitor liver disease, bile duct obstruction, bone disorders such as rickets, Paget’s disease, osteomalacia, and other metabolic bone conditions. Results are often interpreted along with bilirubin, AST, ALT, GGT, calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D to provide a comprehensive evaluation. At Nidan Pathology Lab, we provide NABL-accredited testing, FREE home sample collection, advanced laboratory technology, and accurate, timely reports to support the diagnosis and management of liver and bone disorders.
