What causes high MPV and low Alkaline phosphatase?

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

If your MPV is in between 6.8 fL and 10.9 fL 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 MPV 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 MPV levels include:

• Primary or secondary thrombocytosis
• Marrow hypoplasia.
• Heart disease
• Autoimmune diseases
• Atrial fibrillation, irregular heartbeat

Normal range of Alkaline phosphatase : 30 - 120 U/L

Ideal values of Alkaline phosphatase depending on age :

Age	Ideal Alkaline phosphatase value
<5 years	30.684
5-10 years	31.384
10-15 years	32.1
15-20 years	32.832
20-25 years	33.581

80-90 years	42.074
90-100 years	43.033
>100 years	44.014

High MPV and low Alkaline phosphatase can be caused by a lot of reasons. If you take MPV and Alkaline phosphatase blood tests and the results are higher than 10.9 fL for MPV 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.
