What To Be Concerned About The Medical Issues?

I recently had a blood test done which revealed a reading of 170 Alkaline Phosphate. My bone specific test is 26. I had gallbladder surgery 26 years ago. I have a number of health issues such as high blood pressure , a heart stint was placed almost a year ago, weight issue, sleep apnea and cysts in both kidneys. My Dr has recommended an abdominal ultrasound and I am wondering what I should be concerned about.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
The reading of alkaline phosphatase suggests that there is some problem with the liver, may be hepatitis, fatty liver, etc.
Your doctor ordered for ultrasound to find whether there is swelling of the liver, and if it is there tests are to be done to find the exact reason.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods to have good health and resistance.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. thank you.
