Stop worrying: Low alk phos means nothing whatsoever. Reference ranges are set so that a few percent of healthies fall outside on either end. Glad you're interested in lab work. For most labs, worrisome results are way outta range.

See your clinician: There may be nothing "wrong" with you. Note that no test is perfectly accurate. Also, if you're at very low risk for a disease, an abnormal result is less likely to be true. You need to sit down with a clinician to review your tests in light of your overall personal & family medical history, physical findings, & health goals. Next steps include further tests, & watch & wait. Hope that helps.

Alkaline Phosphatase levels are 166. 22/F. Not pregnant. Albumin, bilirubin, AST, and ALT are all in normal ranges. The ER doctor told me its not concerning to him. So he didnt look further. Could it be Vit D deficiency or gallstones?
