Son had hernia surgery and found high alkaline phosphatase, what should we do?

Patient's question:

My son had an alkaline phosphatase level of 1500 during his hernia surgery. How can this be resolved? The situation isn't looking good, and I'm very worried.

Doctor's answer:

In your case, you need to rule out two types of conditions: liver and gallbladder diseases, and bone diseases. If you don't have any of these related conditions, there's no need to worry too much. Since the child is in a growth peak period, bone decomposition metabolism is very fast. High alkaline phosphatase levels are normal. You can first have the relevant department doctors confirm the diagnosis. If you're still not, you can repeat this test in a few days. If there are no other diseases, it won't have much impact on surgery. Do you have any other diseases?
