Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a ubiquitous enzyme essential for diverse physiological functions, including skeletal mineralisation, liver function and immune modulation. ALP measurements in serum or ...

Low alkaline phosphatase (ALP) can be a sign of several different conditions, including thyroid disease, celiac disease, malnutrition, nutrient deficiencies, and inflammatory bowel disease. ALP is an ...

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme in blood that helps break down proteins. An ALP test measures how much ALP is circulating in the bloodstream. Having high or low ALP levels can indicate an ...

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme present in several tissues including liver, bile ducts, intestine, bone, kidney, placenta, and leukocytes. Higher than expected levels considered normal are ...

Liver diseases are commonly diagnosed using serum enzyme assays, particularly for aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyl ...

LOWERING of the serum alkaline phosphatase activity has received little attention. 1 It is known in scurvy and hypophosphatasemia and after exposure to radioactive substances that are deposited in ...

The rise of serum alkaline phosphatase is a characteristic finding in rickets along with the decrease of serum phosphorus level. The type of isoenzyme in the serum in this condition has also been ...

Disturbances in serum levels of minerals and parathyroid hormone (PTH) occur in renal osteodystrophy and are associated with mortality in patients on maintenance hemodialysis; however, the predictive ...

Use of endoscopic ultrasound scoring to estimate the malignant potential of branch duct type intraductal papillary-mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas. Background: Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an ...

Metabolic syndrome comprises a cluster of related disorders that includes obesity, glucose intolerance, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and fatty liver. Recently, gut-derived chronic endotoxemia has ...

A 47-year-old black man has had elevated ferritin levels ranging from 500-800 ng/mL for the past two years. Physical examination shows nothing out of the ordinary. His rheumatoid profile is negative.
