Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme present in many parts of the body, but it is primarily found in the liver, bones, intestine, and kidneys. ALP testing measures the amount of this enzyme in the blood.
The complete blood count (CBC) is an essential comprehensive blood panel that allows your doctor to evaluate each type of cell in your blood. The CBC measures the number of red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), and platelets (PLT).
The Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) test is used to determine if you have a possible liver or bile duct disease or to differentiate between liver and bone disease as a cause of elevated alkaline phosphatase (ALP). It can also be used to screen for or monitor alcohol abuse.
Flow cytometry is a laboratory method used to detect, identify, and count specific cells from blood, bone marrow, body fluids such as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), or tumors. One of the most common applications is in the diagnosis of leukemia and lymphoma.
Creatine kinase (CK) is an enzyme found in the heart, brain, and skeletal muscle. High amounts of CK are released into the blood when there is muscle damage. A CK blood test may be used to detect inflammation of muscles (myositis) or muscle damage due to muscle disorders (myopathies).
The methylmalonic acid (MMA) test is used as a sensitive test for early or mild vitamin B12 deficiency.
