Does anyone know

Does anyone know anything about alkaline phosphatase? Mine is apparently a little high. I'm not exactly sure what it means. Long story short...about 2 and 1/2 years ago I had my gall bladder removed. Occasionally I still get pains like I had when that organ wasn't missing Last week I had an ultrasound done of my liver and the bile ducts that are still there. Everything looked fine (so does my pancreas.) So I was just wondering if anyone knows what this all means. I'm waiting for my doctor to call back about it. Wish me luck

No idea myself, but I found this via the wonders of Google:

Alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme in the blood, intestines, liver, and bone cells. Its chemical structure varies (called isoenzymes) depending on where it is produced. This makes it possible to determine where a problem has originated. When bones are growing, liver cells are damaged, or a biliary obstruction occurs, alkaline phosphatase levels rise considerably.

Thanks!! I just talked to my doctor and he isn't worried about it. He just said to get tested again in about 4 months and we'll go from there. Thanks for looking that up though, I appreciate it
