Normal Serum Alkaline Phosphatase Values
Disease description:
My friend sustained a tibial fracture in a car accident, and now blood tests are required to monitor healing—specifically, serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP). What is the normal reference range for serum alkaline phosphatase?

Dr. Dai Zhenyu
Normal reference range: 45–125 U/L. A marked elevation may indicate liver disease or hepatobiliary disorders, which require prompt treatment. For tibial fractures, if the injury is mild, external immobilization with a plaster cast may be sufficient; however, severe tibial fractures typically necessitate surgical intervention to effectively manage the condition. Postoperatively, appropriate calcium supplementation may be beneficial.
