No, not to worry: Alkaline phosphatase is not a very reliable test unless there is something seriously wrong with the liver. Since it is close to normal, I do not believe it is anything significant. if there was anything important going on in your liver, other tests like SGOT and SGPT will be the first ones to rise and sound an alarm.

High ALP R/O cholest: If alkaline phosphatase is raised in an asymptomatic patient and serum bilirubin, liver transaminases, creatinine, adjusted calcium, thyroid function, and blood count are normal: Most likely sources are either bone or liver, differentiate by measuring γ-glutamyltransferase (raised in liver) and investigate accordingly For liver cases investigate with a US scan and AMA ForBone -- Bone Scan & Vt.
