Suggest Remedy For Increased Alkaline Levels After Mono Infection
My grandson, age 2 1/2 was diagnosed with mono about 6 weeks ago. An ultrasound showed an enlarged spleen and liver, the specialist said that was expected due to the infection. Everything has improved but his alkaline levels keep increasing. It was 7000 today. What could that indicate?

Hi...elevated alkaline phosphatase levels indicate either a vitamin D deficiency or an obstructive liver disease. If she is having, jaundice then the latter caries significance. Even if she is otherwise well, she needs evaluation for liver disease and vitamin D deficiency.
