| Expected TAT | 3 - 5 days |
| Clinical Use | The bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BSAP) assay provides a general index of bone formation and a specific index of total osteoblast activity. BSAP and osteocalcin are the most effective markers of bone formation and are particularly useful for monitoring bone formation therapies and antiresorptive therapies. |
