In gynecology, elevated ALP levels can be associated with several conditions:
Pregnancy: During pregnancy, particularly in the third trimester, ALP levels can rise due to the production of placental ALP. Gynecological Cancers: Certain cancers, such as ovarian and endometrial cancer, can cause elevated ALP levels, often due to metastasis to the liver or bones. Bone Disorders: Conditions like osteoporosis or bone metastases from gynecological cancers can lead to increased ALP levels. Liver Disease: Liver function can be compromised in conditions such as preeclampsia or HELLP syndrome, leading to elevated ALP levels.
