Normal value of alkaline phosphatase

The human body needs many kinds of nutrients, and it is necessary to supplement them comprehensively. Only in this way can the supplement be done correctly. However, it should be noted that the amount of supplement for different nutrients is different, so when supplementing, it cannot be done arbitrarily, but should be arranged reasonably. What is the normal value of alkaline phosphatase?

Many people don't know what the normal value of alkaline phosphatase is, so when it is abnormal, they are not very clear. The following is a detailed introduction so that you can have a good understanding of the normal value of alkaline phosphatase.

Normal value of alkaline phosphatase:

Normal range (continuous monitoring method): Female, 1-12 years old, less than 500U/L; over 15 years old, 40-150U/L; male, 1-12 years old, less than 500U/L; 12-15 years old, less than 750U/L; over 15 years old, 40-150U/L.

Causes of elevated alkaline phosphatase

When the liver is damaged or obstructed, bile enters the blood through the lymphatic tract and hepatic sinusoids. At the same time, due to the obstruction of bile excretion in the intrahepatic bile duct, bile refluxes into the blood, causing a significant increase in serum alkaline phosphatase.

The causes of elevated alkaline phosphatase can be divided into physiological and pathological causes, which are discussed in detail as follows:

1. Physiological reasons: During the bone development period of children, pregnant women, and fracture healing period, the alkaline phosphatase in the bone tissue is very active, so the test value will be higher.

2. Pathological reasons: When a person suffers from obstructive jaundice, primary liver cancer, secondary liver cancer, cholestatic hepatitis, etc., liver cells overproduce ALP, which enters the blood through the lymphatic tract and hepatic sinusoids. At the same time, due to bile excretion disorders, it refluxes into the blood, causing high levels of alkaline phosphatase in the serum.

3. When there is a bone disease, such as rickets, bone tumors, osteomalacia, etc.

4. Other less common diseases, such as kidney disease, severe anemia, hypothyroidism, leukemia, etc.

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of the normal value of alkaline phosphatase. When it appears to be high, we can follow the above method. However, it should be noted that after the alkaline phosphatase appears to be high, reasonable arrangements are also needed in diet, which will be of great help to all aspects of oneself.
