Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Alkaline phophastase is made mostly in the liver,bone and some are found in intestines and kidneys.
It is increased in many conditions.It may be due to liver disease like cholecystitis,cirrhosis of liver,alcohol intake,bone disease like pagets disease etc.

You need proper clinical examination and further investigations.
You need routine hemogram,RBS,LFT,RFT,GGT level,urine RE/ME,ultrasound of abdomen.Further investigations can be done if needed.

Proper treatment depend upon findings.

Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.

Take Care
