When the total ALP activity is increased, the isoenzymes are used in determining the source of the increased activity.
Elevation of total ALP activity with increased GGT activity suggests that majority of ALP is of liver origin.
If non-bone, non-liver ALP is suspected, ALP isoenzymes electrophoresis helps confirm origin(s) of ALP.
