slightly raised ALP

[Stlucia1936]

Diagnosed with Pbc last Feb through routine blood test, very high LFT'S, no symptoms, ultrasound normal, fibroscan 7.5, after taking urso within 3 weeks bloods were all normal except Alp was 135, Consultant said I probably had a mild case which I was very pleased about, I have been getting bloods done every 3 months and all normal except Alp is sticking at around 142, Consultant didn't seem concerned but I am wondering if this is anything to be worried about because I am a worrier, will this cause any damage at all

since we have pbc, our alk phos will be higher than normal even with treatment. Under 150 is okay. This is what my hepatologist tells me.

There are 2nd line meds to go with urso to bring it down if your doctor feels that it is necessary.

Hi,

135 is within the normal range. So no need to worry

I have alp fluctuating between 350 and 400, and my hepatologist is aiming to bring them down to at least 200.
