Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -ALP rises because of the increased synthesis and membrane shedding of ALP from hepatocytes exposed to the increased biliary pressure of cholestasis whereas bilirubin rises due to a failure of bilirubin excretion.
Detailed explanation-2: -People with Paget’s disease of bone often have raised levels of ALP, although some people with the condition have a normal ALP level and a high level can also be caused by some other conditions. An X-ray or scan is therefore also needed to confirm the diagnosis.
