Suggest Treatment For Elevated ALP And WBC Levels

I have elevated ALP and chronic elevated WBC. My grandmother had elevated WBC most of her life as have I. I am a nurse who tested positive for Hep B due to a dirty needle stick over 10 yrs ago. I was recently hospitalized for chest pain. Was found d out to have HBP and low potassium. I have extremely elevated alkaline phosphatase levels. I went to a Chiropractor who found I have severe DJD. What can I do to lower my Alkaline phosphatase levels?

Hi,

Elevated ALP levels are indicating possible obstruction of bile pathways or any bone problem. As you have a history of positive hep B, then, it's better to consult with gastroenterologist first. In your case elevated WBC are correlated to hep B to me. However, it's time to run a few more investigation. Better discuss with gastroenterologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
