What does this mean???
I went to the doctor for lab work last week because my body has been feeling really unbalanced lately, and my Alkaline Phosphatase Levels came back extraordinarily high. None of the other liver panel was off-kilter.
I'm 22, female, 5'9 (so hopefully this is not indicative of more bone growth, I'm done with my growth spurt!), and normally pretty healthy...the level was 195, and the normal range is between 20-125.
Should I do a liver flush??????
The doctor wants to run some more tests. I'm scared.- Re: Scared---High Alkaline Phosphata... grzbear

This is a reply to # 185,371How much sun do you get? You should get some sun most every day on most of your skin. Low vitamin D levels can apparently cause this and I have heard estimates that up to 90% of people in the US are D deficient.
The darker your natural skin color, the more likely you are to be deficient as darker skinned peoples must get more sun than lighter skinned individuals.

This is a reply to # 185,374Do not use sun screen! You cannot manufacture vitamin D using sunscreen. Some say sunscreen is the snake oil of our generation; bad stuff.
Do not stay in the sun to the point of sunburn! This can cause problems of its own.
