My daughter has a highly elevated alkaline phosphatase of 4700, she has been referred to a GI specialist.  She had the test redone 8 days later and it was down into the 2000+ range.  Any insight would be great and is the GI doctor the right place to start?  She has had recurrent infections since she was born and has been diagnosed with ashtma as well.  She is 17 months old.
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Highly elevated alkaline phosphatase level may be due to some liver disease or intestinal disease or bone disease.  However, in 17-month-old child its high chance to have intestinal disease.  You should consult astrologist and investigate further.  Also go for ultrasound abdomen and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
