Dr. Jin Zhongkui
An elevated alkaline phosphatase level of 152 may be caused by biliary obstruction. Metabolic abnormalities can also lead to increased alkaline phosphatase, such as hepatitis, liver cancer, and obstructive jaundice. Since there are many factors that can cause elevated alkaline phosphatase, individual patients should undergo medical evaluation at a hospital to determine the exact cause and receive appropriate treatment accordingly.
