Is alkaline phosphatase 157 serious?

Alkaline phosphatase 157U/L is higher than normal, which is a more serious condition, but may be physiologically elevated during adolescent growth and development and during pregnancy. In general, the normal value of alkaline phosphatase is between 45 and 125 U/L for men and between 50 and 135 U/L for women, and 157 U/L is higher than the normal value; alkaline phosphatase is mainly distributed in the human liver, bones, intestines, kidneys, placenta and other tissues, and will be excreted through the liver. High alkaline phosphatase often reflects abnormalities in the skeletal system, hepatobiliary system and endocrine system, such as rickets, osteochondrosis, bone malignant tumors, extrahepatic bile duct blockage, jaundiced hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver, hyperthyroidism and other diseases, and may also physiologically rise during adolescent growth and development and pregnancy. Therefore, when the alkaline phosphatase in the body is found to be high, it should go to the hospital in time for examination, and according to the specific conditions of the active symptomatic treatment.
