High sodium alkaline phosphate - 139 (normal drinker)

[10864]

Hi

This post isn’t about me (a recovering alcoholic, sober 3.5yrs!) but my completely normal, low level of alcohol intake, partner!

He had some bloods run as part of a routine check up for his age (46) and they’ve had him back in for full LFTs / scan next week as his ALP was 139..

When I say normal drinker, I mean it - he’s a two / three pints Friday & Saturday type of perfect weight.

not massively concerned and I’m so aware of process he’s on with scan / bloods etc due to my past but obviously almost more concerning as he is totally “normal” and not unwell..our only thought is we both suffer dreadfully with our back / shoulders due to jobs and take ibuprofen daily… could this have impacted?

Any advice appreciated
