Hi everybody I'm not sure if this is the right best place to post but oh well...

 

So I went to have my blood work bed rest accutane and the results came back with high concentrations of alkaline phosphatase. So high that in fact I couldn't take the the drug and I would have to go back next month for another blood test. Apparently the ALP is related to my bones and liver but my theory is that eitherI I just got back from vacation and I ate a lot of fatty foods which could have escalated it.my next theory is thatam I my bones are growing because I'm a teenager and that is also related to high concentrations of alkaline phosphatase.has anyone else had this problem?

I've moved your post to the General Acne Thread. Since this post really doesn't have anything to do with Emotional and psychological effects of acne. You should get more answers now that your topic is moved. Good luck

That means your liver enzymes are elevated. Please see:
