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

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.

Ideal levels of Alkaline phosphatase in the blood are approximately 30 - 120 U/L (Men)

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.
