my blood test shows alkline phosphatase is 155, that is high and biliru...is higher than before, 0.7. it seems my liver is having problem. I previously tested Hep A,B,C - negative. what other test to figure out what cuases the high numbers please. thanks
Without an actual examination, I cannot give specific medical advice but, alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin are removed by the liver by way of the gall bladder. If there is a blockage these elevate. While your level is NOT that elevated, a trend of increasing numbers following a pattern is also an indicator. Ultrasound can show most blockages. Can be from gallstones, mass, or many other causes.
