Question

elevation of alp is most commonly involved with liver and _______?

bone

muscle

pancreas

heart

Explanation:

ALP (alkaline phosphatase) is an enzyme. It is present in several tissues in the body. The liver and bone are two major sources of ALP. In liver diseases (such as biliary obstruction) and bone diseases (such as Paget's disease, rickets, osteomalacia, etc.), ALP levels can be elevated. Muscle, pancreas, and heart do not have as significant a contribution to ALP elevation as liver and bone in common clinical scenarios.

Answer:

Bone
