What causes high MCHC and low Alkaline phosphatase?

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

If your MCHC is in between 31.5 g/dL and 34.5 g/dL 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 MCHC 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.

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

• Iron deficiency anemia or Aplastic anemia
• Inflammatory disorders
• Bone marrow defects
• Hereditary spherocytosis
• Liver disease
