What Does An Alkaline Phosphatase Of 144 Indicate?
Question: My alkaline Phosphatase is 144 IU/P, I am a 43 year old female, not pregnant, in fact going through peri-menopausal phases. Should I be concerned or are there other numbers that I need to worry about? This was a result from tests run by a life insurance group to get a policy which I was approved for.
Brief Answer:
be relaxed. need more information. may be normal v
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I went through the query and understood your concern.
Be relaxed.
If you can write here all the abnormal reports or upload the investigations file it will be better for diagnosis if any problem.
Without any complaints and no other variations in blood test the rise in alkaline phosphatase less than two folds may be normal variation which may come back to normal values. The enzyme may rise due to any insult to the liver.
So kindly provide more information on your clinical features if any and also any other abnormal blood tests. If no other complaints or abnormal blood tests then repeat liver function test again after a week to know the values.
I hope this information helps you and answered your concern.
Feel free to ask for any further queries. I will be glad to answer them.
Wish you good health.
Regards

I have never had any other abnormal tests in the past and all of the other tests on that report were all within normal range. I will try to upload the results.
Brief Answer:
May be normal variant
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Since you don't have any other complaints and also all the tests are normal, be relaxed and just monitor the values.
If the level rises more than 2 fold the upper limit of normal values and if you have any complaints related to other system like bone or liver (commonly) needs to be evaluated.
Hope this information helps you. Be relaxed and enjoy life.
