What does it mean? And what happens if they are low?
All right well I had a blood test a couple of days ago and my results came in abnormal and well two things were abnormal which were my bun and alkaline phosphatase? What is that and what could happen for it to be low?
Answers:
A decreased serum alkaline phosphatase may be due to:

Hypothyroidism.
Vitamin C deficiency/Scurvy.
Folic acid deficiency.
Excess Vitamin D intake.
