A member asked:
Im 52 with an alkaline phosphate of 98 im very worried this is bone cancer why is it so high all other labs normal. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Alkaline phosphatase: Most labs have the upper value of normal around 120-140 for alkaline phosphatase, not sure why it has been reported as high. Regardless, that isolated value is not ruling in or out bone cancer. Lab values lack meaning out of clinical context and I would suggest talking with your ordering physician about your concerns for bone cancer.
