What causes high Alkaline phosphatase and low MPV?

If your Alkaline phosphatase is in between 30 U/L and 120 U/L and your MPV is in between 6.8 fL and 10.9 fL then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Alkaline phosphatase and MPV respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.
