Is High ALP Normal During Pregnancy? Find Out Here

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

1. High ALP (alkaline phosphatase) levels during pregnancy are typically a normal occurrence. This is because the placenta produces ALP, and its levels naturally increase as the pregnancy progresses, especially during the second and third trimesters. This variant is generally not a cause for concern.

2. However, if there are other symptoms present or if you have any underlying conditions, it's important to discuss this further with your healthcare provider. They can ensure that the high ALP levels are solely related to the pregnancy and not a sign of any other issues. Rest assured, in most cases, elevated ALP levels are simply a normal part of the changes your body is going through.

Thanks
