What Does Elevated Alk Phos And Slightly Elevated ALT Mean?

I was wondering what a possible elevated alk phos 183 and slightly elevated alt numbers might mean? I have a history of thyroid cancer and I recently had a rt knee medial meniscectomy. Would any of these have something to do with the test results? I had an abdominal sonogram on friday and am awaiting the results. Thank you.

Hi thanks for asking question.

These both can be elevated in bone disorder or bone disease or bony trauma.you have done knee menisectomy that can lead to elevation of these enzymes.

Liver problem can lead to elevations of these enzymes.USG will reveal if fatty liver , hepatitis or other liver pathology if present.

Osteomalacia, vitamin D deficiency or renal disease can lead to elevated alkaline phosphatase.

Wish you good health.

Monitor both these enzyme level for next few month.

Take care...
