This blood test measures the activity of an enzyme made mainly in the liver, used to help figure out whether a raised level of a different, more commonly ordered liver enzyme is actually coming from the liver or from bone. It's typically ordered as a follow-up test rather than as a routine first check. It requires only a standard blood draw.
