Question
Dear pediatrician, my child has a condition of elevated alkaline phosphatase levels, and I am very worried. This symptom has recurred and there have been previous checks. I hope the doctor can provide some assistance.
Answer
If an elevated level of alkaline phosphatase is detected in a test, the patient needs to go to the hospital for further examination to determine the cause and receive targeted treatment based on the specific situation. First, it is necessary to identify which disease is causing this symptom and actively seek treatment under the doctor’s guidance. During periods of pediatric bone development, pregnancy, and fracture healing, alkaline phosphatase is very active in bone tissue, which is why the test results may be high.
