Posted on Tue, 31 Jan 2023

Question: Hello Doctor,

I made general health check up for my mother as part of routine, in one of her test i found alkaline phosphatase as 142.5 U/I where normal range is 42-98. Is there anything i should worry about?

Brief Answer:
It is probably nothing.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

It is marker of either liver disease or bone disease. A recent fracture could explain it. If there is no recent fracture, I suggest repeating the blood test in a week or so. If other liver enzymes are elevated, I recommend an ultrasound of the liver.
Thanks.
