Is high alkaline phosphatase serious?

High alkaline phosphatase levels need to be taken seriously, because high alkaline phosphatase levels may be caused by some disease problems, such as excretion dysfunction in patients with common liver diseases, or patients with severe kidney disease and leukemia, all of whom will show these symptoms.

1. Excretion dysfunction caused by liver diseases, such as various hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver fibrosis, capillary cholangiitis, etc. This is also a common clinical phenomenon of elevated alkaline phosphatase.

2. Alkaline phosphatase also increases significantly in primary and secondary liver cancer, which is related to the increase in the synthesis of alkaline phosphatase by liver immune factors in cancer tissue or around the tumor.

3. Since alkaline phosphatase is also very active in bone tissue, some bone diseases, such as fracture healing period, osteomalacia, rickets, osteosarcoma, metastatic bone tumor, etc., may lead to high alkaline phosphatase.

4. Serum alkaline phosphatase may also be elevated due to other diseases, such as kidney disease, severe anemia, leukemia, and hyperthyroidism.

Experts recommend: If alkaline phosphatase levels are elevated, you need to go to a regular hospital for a detailed examination. Based on the patient's symptoms and accurate examination results, the cause and condition can be analyzed so that targeted treatment can be carried out.
