Q: plasma vitamin d <4.2 ng/ml serum vitamin b12 -197 serum tsh-2.805 serun alkaline phosphatase-356 wbc-3300 mcv-103 mch-34 platelet-141k?

Need Vits D3 and B12: You are severely deficient in Vitamins D3 and B12. I recommend 10,000 IU of Vit D3 per day, and 1,000 mcg methylcobalamin each day. Your D3 levels should be 60-70 ng/dl.

Q: male adolescent: fasting low alkaline phosphatase blood result 85 iu/l l (normal range 100-450 iu/l l).does this indicate malnutrition(vitamin/mineral malabsorption); all other results in hepatic func panel normal range. what does this indicate?

Hard to say: Since many other labs would list the low end of normal as low as 30 IU/L it is hard to comment on a single lab value without context. Low values are associated with poor nutrition &amp; a number of medical conditions. Without a full review of history, exam and review of all testing it is hart to decide if this is a problem or not.

Q: 18mnth old with alk phos level of 1, 497 and vitamin d level of 23 any ideas what this could be doc not saying much please help

Alk Phos: High alk phos level are normal in children.As age progresses levels will come down. Repeat test in 3-4 months and see if we are making progress.

Q: foods to treat low alkaline phosphatase?

No need: Low alkaline phosphatase is not a pathological state and does not need to be treated.

Question 1

what does elevated alkaline phosphatase, vitamin d deficiency, and anemia indicate?

Accepted Answer

Seek cause: Vitamin d deficiency is very common today & may explain the high alk phos in an adult; it's usually due to misguided "healthy" lifestyles avoiding sunlight and vitamin-d enriched dairy products. Anemia is more worrisome and always requires a real medical workup; nutritional iron deficiency is rampant in our world but other causes must be sought as well. Good luck & stay proactive.

Question 2

what causes low vitamin d levels and high alkaline phosphatase?

Accepted Answer

: Vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency can be caused by low Vitamin D intake (by diet or lack of sunlight). A high alkaline phosphatase has a broad differential: Liver problems, gallstone obstruction, pancreatitis, pregnancy, hyperthyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, diabetes,  healing fractures, cancer, infection, heart failure. Test results need to be taken in clinical context

Question 3

i have low vitamin d,  low alkaline phosphatase, high uric acid and high triglycerides.  is there something that links all of these together?

Accepted Answer

There is some: relationship between low vitamin D and alkaline phosphatase as both influence bone metabolism. But typically dysfunctional bone turnover raises alkaline phosphatase; a low value suggests some impairment of the gall bladder/bile duct/liver system. High uric acid is often genetic, but can be dietary: seafood (scallops/sardines), liver, red meat. Beer/sugary drinks raise uric acid and triglycerides!

Question 4

vitamin d was 15.6 ng/ml and normal calcium high in pth and alkaline phosphatase serum level?

Accepted Answer

Replace vitamin d: Vitamin d deficiency is very common. You need vitamin d to absorb calcium from the intestines.  When you don't have enough vitamin d, in order to keep your blood calcium levels normal, your make more PTH to pull calcium from the bones and that raises the alkaline phosphatase. Replacing vitamin d should normalize all the tests.

Question 5

hi. i have pth 95.80 pg/ml and normal calcium level and vitamin d was 15.6 ng/ml high in alkaline phosphatase 132 u/l?

Accepted Answer

Hard to tell: Is your calcium low normal or high normal?  From the labs above, the only thing i can say right now is you have secondary hyperparathyroidism due to the low vitamin d.  The best thing to do right now is to correct the vitamin d into the normal range (30-50).  Once this is done, the PTH should drop back into the normal range.  If not, then you also have primary hyperparathyroidism.

Question 6

if i have vitamin d was 15.6 ng/ml and normal calcium high in pth and alkaline phosphatase serum level what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Replace vitamin d: Vitamin d deficiency is very common. You need vitamin d to absorb calcium from the intestines.  When you don't have enough vitamin d, in order to keep your blood calcium levels normal, your make more PTH to pull calcium from the bones and that raises the alkaline phosphatase. Replacing vitamin d should normalize all the tests.

plasma vitamin d  <4.2 ng/ml
serum vitamin b12  -197
serum tsh-2.805
serun alkaline phosphatase-356
wbc-3300
mcv-103
