Question 1

is an alkaline phos. level of 169 norm? could it indicate lymphoma?

Accepted Answer

Not specific for it: It is not too high, close to the upper range of normal. It can be high due tio any liver or bone disease. It does not indicate lymphoma at all, not  by itself.

Question 2

i  am 34 years old my alkaline phos level  is 278 what is normal level?

Accepted Answer

Alk phos: The normal range for Alkaline Phosphatase is 44 to 147 IU/L (international units per liter) or 0.73 to 2.45 microkat/L.

Question 3

two recent blood tests indicate alkaline phosphatase levels of 150 and 146. all my other blood tests are well within normal. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Alkaline phosphatase has two sources - liver and bone.
Consult a specialist for further investigations.

Question 4

if lymphoma goes into remission does that indicate the person is cured and can live a normal life?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: "lymphoma" is a name for 40+ subtypes of lymphoma.
They all do not behave the same and not all are curable.
Remission (no disease evident) is common in lymphoma. The chance that the lymphoma is cured after remission depends on tumor and patient factors. That is too complicated to further detail in 400 characters...

Question 5

is a blood level alkaline phosphatase of 46(range 45 - 129) normal or low? could it cause problems?

Accepted Answer

It's fine: A low alkaline phosphatase level never means anything, and reference ranges are set so that several percent of healthy folks fall outside in the first place. Stop worrying and be grateful for good health.

Question 6

husband diagnosed with diffused large b cell lymphoma and the ldh level is 169 within the normal range . does by any chance his ldh number predict the stage ? he has app for pet scan?

Accepted Answer

: LDH does not predict the stage but a normal LDH is a very good sign. The PET scan will better inform you about the stage.  I know this is a difficult time for you and your husband but stay strong and take one day at a time, get the treatments offered and I am hoping for the best for you.

Question 7

alkaline phosphatase level 151. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Upper end of normal: The level is above the upper limit for normal but not by much. All lab results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and you should discuss it with your doctor and see this site for info.

Question 8

my alkaline phosphate level is 184 u/l higher than normal. is there something i can do?

Accepted Answer

: Alkaline phophatase varies with age and sex and also with eating before the test. It should be repeated to confirm the value. It comes mainly from liver and bones. If the rest of the liver tests are normal, likely there is nothing to worry about there. If bones are still developing or there is vitamin D deficiency, it could be of bone origin, more tests are needed.

Question 9

my ldh was 232. the labs upper limit is 230. i had jogged 24 hrs before the test. my ck was 984. can that level of increased ldh indicate lymphoma?

Accepted Answer

Not by itself: Exercise is the likely explanation the levels of both enzymes. It is good that you exercise.
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. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. 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, if you have sex.

Question 10

i am 19 years old with an alkaline phosphatase level of 160. is this normal ?

Accepted Answer

Stop worrying: Unless there is something else obviously wrong, the fact that your alk phos is slightly above the range for most (not all) apparently healthy middle-aged sedentary people shouldn't bother you. You may even still be growing, or might be one of those folks whose alk-phos is up on a non-fasting specimen.
