Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme involved in bone formation and is often elevated in conditions such as osteomalacia and during fracture healing. Calcium and phosphorus levels can also be affected in these conditions, but alkaline phosphatase is the most specific marker for bone formation. Uric acid levels are not typically associated with these conditions.
