Can Any Online Doctor Help In Reading The Result?
I am a PA that did a physical on a healthy 16 yom. LFT was completely normal with exception of Alkaline Phosphatase at 329 (48-230). PE was for an Entrance Treatment Facility for abuse of cough syrup. Is that elevation something that could be consider normal for age?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
Alkaline phosphatase is a liver enzyme and can be raised in many conditions. It is not normal for age but mild increase is usually acceptable if other tests are normal for you.
