My mom had some blood work done and has low leukocyte alkaline phosphate. what could this mean?

See your doctor: This result, along with several others will help to establish a diagnosis regarding possible blood disorders such as anemia or leukemia.The data and diagnosis is complicated; your doctor will explain and discuss treatment options.
