Biochemical measurements in Paget's disease of bone. 1977

R J Walton, and C J Preston, and M Bartlett, and R Smith, and R G Russell

In a group of eighty-three patients with untreated Paget's disease of bone, plasma alkaline phosphatase activity (AP), plasma non-protein-bound hydroxyproline concentration (PHP) and urinary excretion rate of total hydroxyproline (THP) were closely correlated with each other but not with fasting plasma concentrations of calcium or inorganic phosphate. Probit plots of AP and THP showed log-normal distributions overlapping the normal ranges.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010001 Osteitis Deformans A disease marked by repeated episodes of increased bone resorption followed by excessive attempts at repair, resulting in weakened, deformed bones of increased mass. The resultant architecture of the bone assumes a mosaic pattern in which the fibers take on a haphazard pattern instead of the normal parallel symmetry.

D010710 Phosphates Inorganic salts of phosphoric acid. Inorganic Phosphate,Phosphates, Inorganic,Inorganic Phosphates,Orthophosphate,Phosphate,Phosphate, Inorganic
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
