Other tumors that can cause alkaline phosphatase are cancers of:
Elevated Alk Phos may mean that you are not absorbing enough Calcium and are low on Vitamin D. The labs that you have reported may also warrant checking the parathyroid glands with a scan. Please see your Primary care and very likely need to see an endocrinologist.
What Causes Elevated Alkaline Phosphatase?
Moderately high levels of alkaline phosphatase may indicate conditions such as Hodgkin lymphoma, heart failure, or a bacterial infection. Low levels of alkaline phosphatase may indicate hypophosphatasia, a rare genetic disease that affects bones and teeth.

NCD - Partial ThromboplastinTime (PTT) (190.16)
A genetic metabolic disorder resulting from serum and bone alkaline phosphatase deficiency leading to hypercalcemia, ethanolamine phosphatemia, and ethanolamine phosphaturia. Clinical manifestations include severe skeletal defects resembling vitamin d-resistant rickets, failure of the calvarium to calcify, dyspnea, cyanosis, vomiting, constipation, renal calcinosis, failure to thrive, disorders of movement, beading of the costochondral junction, and rachitic bone changes.

The normal range of alkaline phosphatase in the blood is 20 to 140U/L, although this can vary from lab to lab. Children and pregnant women can have significantly higher levels of the enzyme in their blood [ 1 ].
People with sickle cell anemia and children with epilepsy are more likely to have high alkaline phosphatase levels.
Alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme found in all tissues in the human body. In balance, it protects your gut against harmful bacteria and aids digestion. However, high blood levels usually point to liver or bone problems. Read on to understand the symptoms and causes of high alkaline phosphatase and how to reduce it naturally.
To lower your alkaline phosphatase levels, you may stop smoking and get more omega-3s in your diet.
Its major function is to protect your intestinal tract against bacteria, aid in digestion, breakdown fats and some B vitamins, and promote bone formation [ 1 ]. High levels of ALP in the blood may indicate bone, liver, or bile duct disease.
Alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme found in all tissues in the human body but is mostly concentrated in the bones, kidneys, liver, intestines, and placenta. It exists in different forms, depending on where it originates [ 1 ].
In untrained male subjects, one single bout of resistance exercise can cause bone ALP activity to significantly decrease two and three days after the exercise [ 37 ].
