Alkaline phosphatase Price in Bangladesh

What is Alkaline phosphatase?

Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme found in several tissues throughout the body, including the liver, bones, kidneys, and gallbladder. The ALP test measures the level of this enzyme in the blood and is commonly used to evaluate liver function, bone health, and the presence of gallbladder disease or bone disorders like Paget’s disease or osteomalacia.

High ALP levels can indicate liver disease, bone growth or fractures, or certain cancers, while low levels may suggest malnutrition or deficiency in zinc. The test is done using a blood sample, and risks are minimal, usually involving slight discomfort during the blood draw.

What to expect & how to prepare

Alkaline phosphatase is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Alkaline phosphatase result rather than self-diagnosing.
