What causes high Alkaline phosphatase and low Transferrin saturation?

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

If your Alkaline phosphatase is in between 30 U/L and 120 U/L and your Transferrin saturation is in between 13 % and 45 % then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Alkaline phosphatase and Transferrin saturation respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.
