What Could Cause High Alkaline Phosphate In Blood?
I am a diabetic, had foot surgery and lost most of the density in my foot and ankle. It is coming back slowly but none the less it is coming back. Recent blood work shows that my Alkaline Phosphatase are high. Could this be due to the bone density loss I had in my foot?
