2. Elevated alkaline phosphatase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevated_alkaline_phosphatase

   Elevated alkaline phosphatase occurs when levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) exceed the reference range. This group of enzymes has a low substrate specificity and catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphate esters in a basic environment. The major function of alkaline phosphatase is transporting chemicals across cell membranes. [1]

3. Reference ranges for blood tests - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_ranges_for_blood...

   Still, the blood values are approximately equal between the arterial and venous sides for most substances, with the exception of acid–base, blood gases and drugs (used in therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) assays). [6] Arterial levels for drugs are generally higher than venous levels because of extraction while passing through tissues. [6]

4. Alkaline phosphatase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_phosphatase

   The levels of this enzyme in the blood depend on factors such as age, sex, or blood type. [2] Blood levels of alkaline phosphatase also increase by two to four times during pregnancy. This is a result of additional alkaline phosphatase produced by the placenta and the liver. [3] [4] Additionally, abnormal levels of alkaline phosphatase in the ...

5. Bodansky unit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodansky_unit

   It is defined as the quantity of alkaline phosphatase that liberates 1 mg of phosphate ion during the first hour of incubation with a buffered substrate containing sodium β-glycerophosphate. [1] This technique was the first test to measure blood alkaline phosphatase levels, and was developed by Aaron Bodansky in the early 1930s. [2]

6. Hyperparathyroidism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperparathyroidism

   Alkaline phosphatase levels are usually high in hyperparathyroidism due to high bone turn over. In primary hyperparathyroidism, levels may remain within the normal range, but this is inappropriately normal given the increased levels of plasma calcium. [citation needed]

7. Hyperphosphatemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperphosphatemia

   Hyperphosphatemia is an electrolyte disorder in which there is an elevated level of phosphate in the blood. [1] Most people have no symptoms while others develop calcium deposits in the soft tissue. [1] The disorder is often accompanied by low calcium blood levels, which can result in muscle spasms. [1]

9. X-linked hypophosphatemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-linked_hypophosphatemia

   The clinical laboratory evaluation of rickets begins with assessment of serum calcium, phosphate, and alkaline phosphatase levels. In hypophosphatemic rickets, calcium levels may be within or slightly below the reference range; alkaline phosphatase levels will be significantly above the reference range.Biochemically, XLH is recognized by ...
