Alkaline Phosphatase Level And Borderline Levels

My Dr ordered a bunch of bloodwork to check my nutrition and vitamin levels. Results are slowly coming back but still waiting for some more. So far my Alkaline phosphatase is pretty low. Anything under 30 is low and mine is 24. A few other levels are borderline:

Ferritin 22 (borderline low)

RBC 3.97 (borderline low)

Potassium 3.8 (borderline)

And vit b12 is 482 but it says its normal

Anyone familiar with low Alkaline phosphatase?

Hi there,

I am in the testing phase right now too.  My blood work has all been pretty normal except my eosinophils are really high.  The only other thing back through my labs for the past 10 years is that my alkaline phosphatase has dropped down and now is a little over 30 (used to be in the 80s).  Most of what I read is that only high levels are considered problematic but a few places said a low number could mean you are not absorbing nutrients as well as you should.

Have you gotten an answer from your doctor yet??

I am in the middle of a gluten challenge until my colonoscopy/endoscopy in 2 more weeks.

Good luck!

Low alkaline phosphates is common in scurvy, which I doubt you have! You may just need more vit c

It can also mean low b6, folc acid, or thyroid issues. It can also mean too much vit d, or malnutrition

As therevarevso many possibilities, I'd go back to your doc when you get all your results andgetnhim/her to go through them and help you akebsurevyou are getting all the vitamins and minerals you need

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
