Light yellow stool / Alk phosphate level-898 u/l

[Salani]

Dear all,

Pls share ur experience with me.!!!

My son is 1yr & 8months old, some times he passes light colour stool, i was scared coz it was an indication of liver disease.

So i channeled my pediatrician and did some tests. I attached all reports with this.

My baby has :

ALK phosphate - 896 u/l & AST: 54.6 u/l

Usually my baby take 600ml of fresh milk daily. Is this a reason for high Alk phosphate level?

My pediatrician said “when bones are developing this ALK phosphate level is high”.

My questions are:———-

1) Is this a deficiency of vitamin D or calcium?

2) Is this high level of Alk phosphate serious?

3) should i go for further tests to diagnose ?

I m worried lot about this. Pls help me to resolve this problem..

Thank u.

Those labs don’t look so bad. So when you assess your child, you want to look at the whole picture. Stool, jaundice, abdominal distention, weight gain, and labs.. AST, ALT, GGT, ALP, platlets, INR, PT, PTT

Yes I agree with your doctor on the ALP. You can’t just look at the one lab.

When I see my sons poop I just think of autumn colors. He should have autumn colors. Yes sometimes yellow is in there. It’s lots of pale white that you would be concerned to then do labs. I make sure to feed him a low fatty diet.

I hope that helps
