Patient's question:
My child is 4 years old and has high alkaline phosphatase levels, with a result of 261. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
In clinical diagnosis, ALP is primarily used for the confirmation and differentiation of skeletal and hepatobiliary system diseases, especially for the differentiation of jaundice. A decrease or reduction in alkaline phosphatase levels may indicate potential disease risks in certain parts of the body. Elevated alkaline phosphatase levels may suggest conditions such as biliary obstruction or liver problems. Due to differences in testing equipment, parameters may vary. Please return to the pediatric department for follow-up treatment.
