What causes high Alkaline phosphatase and low Phosphorus?

High Alkaline phosphatase and low Phosphorus can be caused by many reasons.

If your Alkaline phosphatase is in between 30 U/L and 120 U/L and your Phosphorus is in between 2.5 mg/dL and 4.5 mg/dL then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Alkaline phosphatase and Phosphorus 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
