2. Liver function tests - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_function_tests

   Standard liver tests for assessing liver damage include alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Bilirubin may be used to estimate the excretory function of the liver and coagulation tests and albumin can be used to evaluate the metabolic activity of the liver. [6]

3. Elevated alkaline phosphatase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevated_alkaline_phosphatase

   H&E stain. 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]

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. AST/ALT ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AST/ALT_ratio

   AST/ALT ratio. LOINC. 16325-3, 1916-6. The AST/ALT ratio or De Ritis ratio is the ratio between the concentrations of two enzymes, aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase, aka alanine aminotransferase (ALT), in the blood of a human or animal. It is used as one of several liver function tests, and measured with a blood test.

7. Cholestasis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholestasis

   ALP enzymes are found abundantly within the bile canaliculi and bile. If a duct is obstructed, tight junctions permit migration of the ALP enzymes until the polarity is reversed and the enzymes are found on the whole of the cell membrane. [77] Serum ALP levels exceeding 2–3 times the upper baseline value may be due to a variety of liver ...
