LOINC long common name : Deprecated PhenX measure - alkaline phosphatase;
LOINC description : This measure is a bioassay to determine the concentration of alkaline phosphatase
in serum or plasma. This measure is used to determine the respondent's serum or plasma
concentration of alkaline phosphatase in international units per liter (IU/L). An
abnormal level of alkaline phosphatase is an indication of various conditions/diseases,
such as liver and parathyroid disease. Alkaline phosphatase is also a marker of bone

bone turnover, such as Paget's disease or vitamin D deficiency.;
