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 skeletal 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 rapid. High alkaline phosphatase levels are normal. You can first consult a doctor from the relevant department for a definitive diagnosis. If you're still not (not reassured), you can repeat the test for this item after a few days. If there are no other diseases, it won't have much impact on surgery. Do you have any other diseases?
