How high alp levels to be concerning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Alk phos: Children and teens run alk phos levels up to five times the top of the reference range. Around 5% of older adults run high alk phos for no obvious reason. This is a lab value, not something you treat. It's merely there to point to possible causes if you get sick. In this respect it's very different from SGOT/AST and SGPT/ALT, which if high generally point to serious illness.
