Persistently increased intestinal fraction of alkaline phosphatase. 1984

E Nathan, and G Baatrup, and H Berg, and B Lund-Hansen, and S Reinholdt

Persistent elevation of the intestinal fraction of the alkaline phosphatase (API) as an isolated finding has to our knowledge not been reported previously. It was found in a boy followed during a period of 5.5 years. The only symptom was transient periodic fatigue observed at home, but not apparent during hospitalization. His blood type was O, RH+, Le (a-, b+) and he was a secretor of H-substance, which may be associated with rising API activity after fat-loading. In this case API was unchanged after fat-loading. Neither intestinal nor liver diseases were found, and no other cause for the elevated phosphatase activity could be demonstrated.
