I have a 5 cm cyst on my liver. My alkaline phosphatase is 239 and my ALT is 43. I have had a nasty sinus infection for 3 weeks and have taken three antibiotics to clear it. My doctor recommends an ultrasound to see if the cyst has grown. Could a growing cyst cause these elevations? I am very concerned. Thank you for your advice.
Dear Friend. Hi, I am Chat Doctor, I have read your query in detail, I understand your concern. Yes a cyst can cause rise in alkaline phosphatase. I am more concerned about the nature of the cyst. It can be benign, it can be liver abscess, and a lot of other things. It would be good if you could share your Ultrasound report with us and your symptoms. This is my personal opinion based on details available here.  If you want to discuss your issues further, you may please ask me through Premium Query directed on my name. I will help you my best.
