Alkaline Phosphatase Isoenzymes Blood Test

$58.00 AUD

Previous test showed elevated ALP but unclear whether the source is your liver, bones, or another tissue?

Separates ALP enzyme types to identify whether elevated levels originate from liver, bone, intestine, or placenta. Eliminates guesswork when total ALP is high.

Overview

ALP Isoenzyme testing separates the different forms of alkaline phosphatase to identify which tissue is producing elevated enzyme levels. Total ALP measurement indicates something is happening but cannot distinguish liver disease from bone disorders—both produce the same enzyme.

This test uses electrophoresis to separate liver, bone, intestinal, and placental isoenzymes, revealing the proportion from each source. When liver ALP dominates, investigation focuses on bile duct obstruction, hepatitis, or infiltrative liver disease. When bone ALP dominates, attention turns to Paget's disease, healing fractures, or bone metastases.

Australian patients with unexplained ALP elevation benefit from this clarification before undergoing extensive testing of the wrong organ system.

Symptoms

Essential for people with elevated total ALP requiring source identification, suspected liver or bone disease, or unexplained enzyme elevation needing targeted investigation.

Questions

  • Total ALP tells you enzyme levels are elevated but not the source. Isoenzyme testing identifies whether liver, bone, intestine, or placenta is responsible.
  • Liver ALP elevation suggests bile duct obstruction, hepatitis, or other liver disease. Further liver-focused testing and imaging may follow.
  • Bone ALP elevation indicates increased bone turnover from Paget's disease, fracture healing, bone metastases, or normal growth in children.
  • Yes. Mixed elevations occur when conditions affect both systems, or when one condition causes secondary effects in another organ.
  • No special preparation. Inform your provider of medications and recent procedures that might affect liver or bone metabolism.
  • Intestinal ALP can elevate in some individuals after fatty meals. Placental ALP appears during pregnancy and is normal in that context.

How to prepare

No special preparation required. Inform healthcare provider of all medications and recent medical procedures that might affect liver or bone metabolism and alkaline phosphatase levels.

After the test

Address abnormal isoenzyme patterns through targeted evaluation of the predominant source (liver or bone), appropriate specialist referrals, specific treatments, and monitoring. Work with hepatologists or bone specialists.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Results show the relative amounts of different ALP isoenzymes. Predominant liver isoenzyme suggests liver disease, while predominant bone isoenzyme indicates bone disorders, guiding targeted evaluation.

Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

"I'm a little biased as I work here! However, I love that The Bloody Good Test tracks my health over time. After turning 40, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to drop dead from something basic I should have known about earlier. Measuring all my core biomarkers each year gives me peace of mind my health is on the right track"

If your test needs fasting, we’ll include that in your instructions after you order. Fasting usually means no food for 8–12 hours, but water is fine.

Just your pathology referral form (we email it to you)

Of course. Just maybe don’t bring the friend who faints at the sight of blood.

They’re the highly trained professionals who take your blood sample - with a steady hand and a sharp needle. They love blood, but don’t worry… they’re not vampires. Just legends who make blood tests quick, clean, and (almost) painless.

Some of our tests include Urine, Stool, Saliva and more. Each test will have a clear description on what sample you will need to give and instructions on how.
