Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I am a RN. My concern is for my 43 year old daughter. Her alkaline phosphate is elevated. I knew this could be elevated with gall bladder disease, however, after a low fat diet, it was up 20 more points today. Her physician is referring her to a hematologist. I know worse is liver problems
hi, Alkaline phosphatase is secreted not only by liver, but also by bone. Any person with sedentary habit or limited mobility or bone diseases can have higher levels of AP. Is your daughter obese? fatty liver patients can also have elevated AP. In any case, 20 points above the normal is not a concern. Hope this helped.
