A member asked:

Is an alkaline phosphatase level of 125 concerning? i have hepatitis b and am now afraid i have pbc. current alt and ast are normal.

Alkaline phosphatase: Hep B is not a condition associated with PBC, though PBC may occur in persons without associated conditions. Normal AP is up to 120 in most labs. A slight elevation is usually of no significance. Only if it is rising consistently, and to high levels, would it be of concern. No reason here for concern. You can repeat the test in 3 months, just to be sure.

The normal range for serum ALP level is 20 to 140 IU/L , but this can vary from laboratory to laboratory. The normal range runs higher in children and decreases with age. Seems to me that your numbers are within normal limits. Do maintain constant surveillance regarding the Hepatitis B infection, but right now I would say that you don't seem to have a cause for immediate worry.
