nose bleeds and abnormal alkaline phosphate level

Bit worried after reading that nosebleeds can be related to liver disease. I have an abnormal alkaline phosphate level that is currently being investigated. Can anyone shed any light on the matter?
I have had hepatitis tests and they came back negative and parathyroid was ok too. They are ow investigating whether the problem is with the liver or bones.
Thank you.

nosebleeds can be a sign of liver disease but more often can be other things as well, high blood pressure, low platelets/clotting factor, etc. if your hepatitis test came back negative you can rule out that but perhaps you have something else going on with your liver. try and relax until you have more tests done.
