Significance of Low Alkaline Phosphates. The significance and causes of low alkaline phosphatase may indicate certain conditions such as malnutrition, celiac disease, hypothyroidism, magnesium and zinc deficiency, anemia and menopause.
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme found in several tissues throughout the body. The highest concentrations of ALP are present in the cells that comprise bone and the liver. Elevated levels of ALP in the blood are most commonly caused by liver disease or bone disorders. This test measures the level of ALP in the blood.
