Hi!
Welcome to HCM!
Your grand daughter is showing rising ALP levels.ALP shows a rise in bone or liver disease.
In children, the most common causes of an elevation in the alkaline phosphatase level include viral hepatitis, mononucleosis, which can cause hepatitis
Among bone disorders possible causes are rickets, caused by a deficiency of vitamin D in the diet or Paget's disease, a condition that causes excessive breakdown of bone;
you need to get her examined and treatment would be based on the clinical diagnosis.
I sincerely hope this will help you!
