Does Elevated ALP Levels Mean Osteoporosis?
10 years post bilateral oophorectomy, to complete hysterectomy started in 96. Left kidney removed 2004, gallbladder 2000. Have had elevated ALP of 124u/l with all other levels normal. Dr is sending me for a bone scan, guessing they are looking for osteoporosis given the lack of hormones as I cannot take estradiol by pill as the chemical make up is too much for my system. 5 1 182# s age 41.

Hello,
Osteoporosis is a possibility. Other conditions like any infiltration lesion in the vine can also cause elevated ALP. You can proceed with bone scan to make a proper diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
