2. Elevated alkaline phosphatase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevated_alkaline_phosphatase

   Tissues that contain high levels of ALP include the liver, bile ducts, and bones. Normal levels of ALP range from (44 to 147) U/L (units per liter) and significantly elevated levels may be an indication of conditions such as various types of cancer, bone diseases such as Paget disease, liver diseases such as hepatitis, blood disorders, or other ...

   Mild elevation of ALP can be seen in liver cirrhosis, hepatitis, and congestive cardiac failure. Transient hyperphosphataemia is a benign condition in infants, and can reach normal level in 4 months. In contrast, low levels of ALP is found in hypothyroidism, pernicious anemia, zinc deficiency, and hypophosphatasia. [6]

4. Alkaline phosphatase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_phosphatase

   The enzyme alkaline phosphatase (ALP, alkaline phenyl phosphatase) is a phosphatase with the physiological role of dephosphorylating compounds. The enzyme is found across a multitude of organisms, prokaryotes and eukaryotes alike, with the same general function, but in different structural forms suitable to the environment they function in. Alkaline phosphatase is found in the periplasmic ...

5. Cirrhosis - Wikipedia

   Alkaline phosphatase – slightly elevated but less than 2–3 times the upper limit of normal. [citation needed] Gamma-glutamyl transferase – correlates with AP levels. Typically much higher in chronic liver disease from alcohol. [80] Bilirubin levels are normal when compensated, but may elevate as cirrhosis progresses. [citation needed]

6. Hepatotoxicity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatotoxicity

   Liver injury is defined as a rise in either (a) ALT level more than three times of upper limit of normal (ULN), (b) ALP level more than twice ULN, or (c) total bilirubin level more than twice ULN when associated with increased ALT or ALP. [45] [46] Liver damage is further characterized into hepatocellular (predominantly initial Alanine ...
