About Alkaline Phosphatase

Measurements of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (EC 3.1.3.1) are used in the diagnosis of hepatobiliary disorders and bone disease associated with the increased osteoblastic activity. Certain conditions such as Hodgkin’s Disease, congestive heart failure, and ulcerative colitis will produce a moderate elevation in alkaline phosphatase levels. Non-pathologic elevations can be observed in the third trimester of pregnancy.

Methodology

This ALP procedure is based on the method developed by Bowers and McComb 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.
