The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2008 Laboratory Procedure Manual documents the steps to draw the respondent's blood, process and store the serum, and measure the concentration of alkaline phosphatase in international units per liter (IU/L ). The manual also includes information for safety precautions, quality control, and reference ranges for normal values. The Skin, Bone, Muscle and Joint Working Group recommends obtaining a total plasma alkaline phosphatase level when the presence of Paget's disease is suspected. There are many methods used to obtain alkaline phosphatase values. The 2007-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) used both the Beckman Synchron LX20 and Beckman UniCel® DxC800 Synchron, which yielded comparable results. Regardless of the method used, it is critical to know the reference ranges for that method so that the user can interpret the results of the bioassay.
