A member asked:

What would cause my alp levels to be high?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Liver or bone: If by alp, you mean serum levels of alkaline phosphatase, bone and liver are two common sites where disease causes an increase in level. To ascertain the actual cause you would need to see a doctor for evaluation.
