What causes high Alkaline phosphatase and low Packed cell volume?

High Alkaline phosphatase and low Packed cell volume can be caused by many reasons.

If your Alkaline phosphatase is in between 30 U/L and 120 U/L and your Packed cell volume is in between 41 % and 49.5 % then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Alkaline phosphatase and Packed cell volume respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

Some examples of conditions that can increase or decrease Alkaline phosphatase levels include:

• Alcohol abuse
• Ulcerative colitis
• Blockage of the bile ducts.
• Insulin resistance
• Congestive heart failure
