Hi All

I have had my bloods tested for vitamins and they all seem normal except for one, results are below

sodium 139 - which is normal

potassium 4.5 - which is normal

creatinine 71 - which is normal

chloride 104 - which is normal

total calcium - 2.42 - which is normal

albumin 43 - which is normal

adjusted calcium 2.41 - which is normal

inorganic phosphate 1.14 - which is normal

alkaline phosphatase 173 - this is not normal - range is 30 - 130

ferritin 74 - which is normal

B12 477 - which is normal

serum folate 7.8 - which is normal

TSH 0.65 - which is normal

FBC - all normal

looks like I might have a problem with my liver!!! I will have to visit my GP for follow up on this!

Wiki (which is not always right!) says that alkaline phosphatase can be elevated for many reasons. The ones that struck me include:

Primary hypothyroidism

Vitamin D deficiency

Coeliac Disease

Women using hormonal contraception

Worth a look. But don't panic - it is not very high.

hi helvella

I am not really panicking, all I know is that I am not right but all my levels say everything is fine, my GP said they will do these tests and go from there, to be honest I am not one to panic or stress about things, I think I have got far too laid back for that now lol, it must be the slowness in me from my hypothyroidism lol

thanks for the support, I will see what happens when I visit my GP next week.
