Question 1

elevated liver enzymes: bilirubin(7.0), sgot, alk, etc. jaundiced for 2 weeks, nausea, fatigue, lack of appetite. negative for hepatitis, ultrasound showed liver at upper range of normal. zero alcohol/drug use for over 10 years. should i worry?

Accepted Answer

: You don't say the enzyme levels (SGOT etc), but this is a very high bilirubin level. It is likely you have a rather serious liver problem. Since ultrasound has been done, apparently you're seeing a doctor, who is the person to ask. If uncertain about his or her expertise, ask for immediate referral to a gastroenterologist or hepatologist (liver specialist). Good luck.

Question 2

alk phos level around 249 on mar 4, now 2, 125 on mar 28, is it normal to have increase that fast?

Accepted Answer

Alkaline phosphate: Should not usually increase that quickly. One concern would be for something going on in the liver. The bones are another source of alk phos. Another source is a pregnancy. But usually pregnancy does not cause such a rapid increase in the value. I would have you touch base with your primary for further investigation as to why this has happened.

Question 3

my alk phos levels have gone from 92 on 3/26/13, to 44 as of 8/19/16. each test in between those dates shows decreasing levels. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

No: A low alkaline phosphatase level is not any thing to be concerned about.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 4

alk phos 48 - 121 iu/l 122 h is this bad? it started at 101 in july of 2020. in march of 2021 it was 110 . know its at 122 . it seems to be on the rise and fast within 3 months?

Accepted Answer

: These fluctuations are still within the range of normal. Remember that alkaline phosphatase is produced in bone and the liver. These levels can fluctuate normally from time to time and also can be affected by medications, activity. Your levels seem to be within normal range.

Question 5

is an alk phosophate level of 132 abnormal?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on the lab&#x27; s normal range. As far as I can tell it looks borderline normal.

Question 6

alk is 72 ast 52 billirubin is 2.3 is this okay?

Accepted Answer

No Abnormal Test: Bilirubin is high.Normal Value is 0.1 to 1.0 mgm/dl
AST is elevated Nrmal is 5 to 40.
52 is slightly high but Check the normal value of your lab
Alkaline Phosphate is normal
Normal Value is 25 to 100 units
Consult your doctor or Gastroenterologist

Question 7

would lymphoma cause high alk. phos.?

Accepted Answer

It is not specific f: High alk. Phos can be caused by any/many liver disorders from any cause including hepatitis, obstruction of the bile due to stone or tumor. Lymphoma itself hs little to do with alk. Phos but it can certainly infilterate into the liver or cause bile duct compression due to enlarged lymph nodes in the porta hepatis area of th eliver and thus  could, indirectly cause high alk phos levels in the blood.

Question 8

is low alk phos seen in celiac patients?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Some patients with low alk phos have celiac disease.

Question 9

fruits and vegetables to avoid if you have a high alk phos?

Accepted Answer

Don't Rx a number: Look for the reason the alk phos is high. Many folks with certain blood types shoot the alk phos up every time they eat. Pregnancy, mild paget's, a healing fracture, or cholestasis due to a medication are all famous for raising it -- your physician knows when (and whether) to work it up. 99% of what you read about "foods to eat/avoid for this/that" is hokum. Be proactive.

Question 10

my alk phosp test came back at 137 range is 50to136 and creatinine was 0.8 range is 0.5to1.2 should i have concerns, all other labs were fine.

Accepted Answer

Normal values: The normal value range are the average normal values of a gathered population. A few points above or lower are occassionaly seen with no underlying problems.  Yours sounds ok.
