[|Human|] i had had an open reduction closed fixation of my right wrist done with titanium plate and screws in Dec 2012 my alkaline phosphatase levels have been elevated since, highest being 147; 3 months ago in Apr 2014 it was 122 which is in normal range. I am diabetic so have labs done every 3-4 months this time in July 2014 it was 131. Could this be caused by the plate and screws in that wrist? I have no other aches or pains. Other blood work is within normal range. My SGOT is in normal range.
[|AI|]  Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that it is because of fracture you have received. It will be cured gradually. Some bone cells produce alkaline phosphatase. As your bone is injured you have high alkaline phosphatase. I will be happy to answer all your future concern. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious disease specialist. Wish you the best health at Chat Doctor.
