  • Fast for 12 hours before the test
  • Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before the test
  • Avoid taking any medications known to affect alkaline phosphatase levels
  • Inform your healthcare provider about any recent surgeries or medical procedures
  • Inform your healthcare provider about any medical conditions you may have, such as liver disease or bone disorders

What are the measure values for the test Alkaline Phosphatase Isoenzymes Test (Bone Fraction)

  • Normal Range: 20-140 U/L
  • Abnormal Results: Values outside the normal range may indicate bone disorders or liver disease
  • Units: U/L (Units per liter)

What does this test Alkaline Phosphatase Isoenzymes Test (Bone Fraction) identify?

Alkaline Phosphatase Isoenzymes Test (Bone Fraction)

The Alkaline Phosphatase Isoenzymes Test (Bone Fraction) is a diagnostic test that helps identify specific forms of alkaline phosphatase in the blood that are derived primarily from bone tissue. Alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme that plays a key role in bone metabolism and is involved in the mineralization of bone. By analyzing the different isoforms of alkaline phosphatase, healthcare providers can differentiate between the bone-specific fraction and other fractions originating from the liver, intestines, and placenta.

This test is commonly used to diagnose and monitor conditions affecting the bones, such as osteoporosis, Paget's disease, bone cancer, and bone metastases. Abnormal levels of bone-specific alkaline phosphatase can indicate bone turnover and help healthcare providers assess bone health and response to treatment.

Why is this test Alkaline Phosphatase Isoenzymes Test (Bone Fraction) taken?

Alkaline Phosphatase Isoenzymes Test (Bone Fraction)

Why is the Alkaline Phosphatase Isoenzymes Test (Bone Fraction) taken?

The Alkaline Phosphatase Isoenzymes Test (Bone Fraction) is taken to assess the levels of alkaline phosphatase in the blood that are specifically derived from bone tissue. Alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in bone metabolism and is primarily produced by osteoblasts, which are cells responsible for bone formation.

Abnormal levels of bone-specific alkaline phosphatase can indicate various bone disorders such as osteoporosis, Paget's disease, bone cancer, or bone metastasis. This test helps in diagnosing and monitoring these conditions and assessing the response to treatment.

Additionally, the Alkaline Phosphatase Isoenzymes Test (Bone Fraction) may be ordered along with other tests to evaluate liver function, as alkaline phosphatase is also produced by the liver. Differentiating between bone-derived and liver-derived alkaline phosphatase can help in identifying the underlying cause of elevated levels and guiding further investigations.
