High alkaline phosphatase treatment
My alkaline phosphatase is way above normal at 288. I have been suffering with grave hyperthyroid and Atrial fibrillation for 23 months.
I also had low vitamin D at 5.5 two months back and low vitamin b12 at 152.
I have been taking vitamin d and b12 tablets and b12 is now in normal at 319 and vitamin d has also increased to 20.8. But just got complete body check yesterday and alkaline phosphatase reads 288 .
Kindly advise what should i do? Do i have to do usg for stomach?
I get pain in muscles and bones.

If only alkaline phosphatase level is high and other liver enzymes are normal ,it could be due to the bone disorder.Your vitamin d is still low and you need to continue treatment.indirectly low vitamin d could cause osteoporosis . Osteoporosis , overactive parathyroid rises the alkaline phosphatase level
Consult with an orthopedist .

Please share the complete LFT report. A level 288 units of Alkaline Phosphatase per se doesn't need any treatment in its own right.

How about your other liver function tests ?
If other are normal and Alkaline phosphates alone raised then it could be due to bone diseases. Needs evaluation. Consult orthopedist
