Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Alkaline phosphatase is raised indicating bile duct damage. As bilirubin's tests are normal, no obstruction.
2. Possible biliary tract infection.
3.Yes, its serious. Ultrasound along with ERCP is necessary to identify cause of damage.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
