Interpretive Data

Bone Specific Alkaline Phosphatase (0070053) and 5'Nucleotidase (0080235) may be useful in identifying disorders of bone and liver, respectively.

No compliance statements are in use for this test.

Note

The presence of heat-stable isoenzymes (i.e., germ cell and placental) will be detected but their activities cannot be differentiated from the liver isoenzyme.
