It depends,,,: It depends on a few factors. First, it's not very high if high at all as the usual range is about 20-140 iu/l, though the last value was above this. Next is that it can be from bone or liver, like in bile duct obstruction. If it's bone involvement it might mean a bone lesion, like possibly a tumor. It'd be wise to see your dr. For tests like a heat stable alp to see if it's liver or bone.
