Abnormal ALP level

My ALP level is 134 and the cut off point here for a normal level is 130. I have to have it tested again on Christmas Eve... Do you think it is a sign of metastatic spread to bone? My other liver enzymes were normal. This is the first time that my ALP has been abnormal, so I am very worried and I have convinced myself that it has spread to bone.

    Hi @gigi66, lots of things can impact ALP. While I am not a doctor I know that gall bladder and/or pancreatic issues can impact ALP levels hugely, not just metastases to the bone. Also ALP can be impacted if you have had a fatty meal and are a certain blood type - I believe it is O. Recent dental work can also sometimes impact ALP. The best advice I can give you is to enjoy the season and distract yourself with the joy and goodwill that is around. In your pocket with support.
