Malnutrition is the most common cause of low alkaline phosphatase. In particular, inadequate consumption of vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin C, zinc, and magnesium are the most common nutritional causes, along with excess consumption of vitamin D.
Elevated alkaline phosphatase is most commonly caused by liver disease or bone disorders. Testing for ALP primarily consists of obtaining a blood sample from a patient along with several other tests for the disorder in question that may be associated with the increase in ALP in the blood serum.
