What causes high ESR and low Alkaline phosphatase?

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

If your ESR is in between 0.1 mm/hr and 14 mm/hr and your Alkaline phosphatase is in between 30 U/L and 120 U/L then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for ESR and Alkaline phosphatase respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

Normal range of ESR : 0.1 - 14 mm/hr

High ESR and low Alkaline phosphatase can be caused by a lot of reasons. If you take ESR and Alkaline phosphatase blood tests and the results are higher than 14 mm/hr for ESR and lower than 30 U/L for Alkaline phosphatase, your physician may recommend more tests to figure out the problem. You might also get these tests if your physician thinks you have some other disease.
