      The enzyme alkaline phosphatase is an important serum analyte and its elevation in serum is correlated with the pressure of bone, liver, and other diseases. The analysis of the isoenzymes of alkaline phosphatase is an aid in diagnosing liver and/or bone disease, especially the high molecular weight isoenzymes that appear in cholestatic liver disease.
