Alkaline phosphate over 1900
by ChanaAdair, Aug 18, 2003 12:00AM
Ok. I posted once before on this but now I know my daughters level........the site I was showed gave me a level average no greater than 460 but my 2 year old daughters levels are over 1900 and they said that they came down some......does anyone have a clue about what could be possibly going on with my daughter........she's my last child and seems so healthy other than the shadows she keeps under her eyes and the fact that she tires easily. I told the doctor about how she tires easily and about her keeping shadows but I guess he feels that's not a real concern. Should I be worried. Her level is like 5x's more than what it should be.
Thank you for any help or answers ya'll may have.

Her doctor knows? Is he worried? Are they running anymore tests? What was the doc's advice?

The doctor does know and now she is having night sweats. Last night my house was 65 I was freezing and we had the baby in bed with us last night so I could make sure she was covered and she was sweating all night even without the sheet on her. I'm really worried now. The doctor says maybe her body is trying to correct her levels, I don't know. He does say she has to go to childrens hospital. This is the 3rd child I've had that has been sick, my first daughter that died during my pregnancy, my 5 yr old daughter who outgrew her problems, and now my little one. I'm really worried cause I've never faced this problem before. I've spent months in the hospital, that doesn't bother me I can handle that part. But I don't know anything at all about Kathryn's problem or what it could even really mean. Her cat scan turned out fine with no obstructions so I'm really at a loss now.

Hi. This is my first time at this site mostly due to some information I received about my 2 year old niece. She has been sick on and off for the past two weeks now, mostly a little vomit and some dry heaves. Anyway, my sister took her in and the doctors did some blood work and her APL was in the 1900's. Now, just today my sister and her husband went to a neuralogist and he looked at all the test results and ordered a MRI TODAY because "it is either something in her bone or brain and it is not looking to good" I don't know what that means right now but if anyone else knows I would appreciate any info. on it.

Please help! My 23month old son has Alkaline phosphatase level of 2007. A week ago he was sick, woke up in the middle of the night vomitting. We took him to the emergency room where they did the ALP test and they told us he had a virus. Next day took him to his pediatrition and was told the ALP blood test from the emergency room was 2,434. He wants to wait another week and test him again because it went down some. What does this mean? Should I allow him to wait? What is the next step once you find out the ALP level is that high?

Your story sounds almost exactly what I'm going through with my 18 month old son. Can you update me on what you have been through since you posted this message?
