Treatment and symptoms of Alkaline phosphatase 172 U/L | Diet for high ALP level 172 U/L

Alkaline phosphatase 172

High Alkaline phosphatase level of 172 can cause a number of symptoms.

An abnormal alkaline phosphatase level of 172 could reflect liver disease, bile duct issues, or bone disorders. A person with an alkaline phosphatase level of 172 might notice symptoms such as fatigue, abdominal discomfort, bone pain, or jaundice depending on the underlying cause. This enzyme plays a vital role in liver and bone metabolism, and abnormal levels can signal conditions such as gallstones, hepatitis, or Paget’s disease. It’s often evaluated alongside other liver and bone tests for a full picture of health. Several treatments are available, but the first thing to focus on is your diet change.

Below are the symptoms and treatments associated with high Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) levels:

  • Symptoms of High Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) Levels:
    • Bone pain or tenderness
    • Fatigue or weakness
    • Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)
    • Abdominal pain, particularly in the upper right quadrant
    • Loss of appetite
    • Dark-colored urine or light-colored stools
  • Treatments for High Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) Levels:
    • High ALP levels can indicate liver disease, bone disorders, or bile duct obstructions. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause.
    • If the high ALP levels are due to liver disease (e.g., hepatitis, cirrhosis), treatment may involve medications to manage the liver condition, lifestyle changes (such as avoiding alcohol), and a balanced diet.
    • If high ALP is caused by a bile duct obstruction, procedures like a bile duct clearance or surgery may be necessary to restore normal function and lower ALP levels.
    • In cases of bone disorders (e.g., Paget's disease, osteomalacia), treatments may include medications such as bisphosphonates, calcium, and vitamin D supplements, or other bone-specific therapies.
    • If the high ALP is due to pregnancy (increased levels are common in the third trimester), no specific treatment is needed, as it often resolves after delivery.
