Study Overview
Brief Summary
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), is a metalloenzyme of the plasma membrane. Serum ALP levels in children are closely related to age and gender, many commercial test kits being used in hospitals, are only offering reference values for adults. The aim of this study is to determine serum ALP levels regarding to age, gender and pubertal stage.
Detailed Description
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), is a metalloenzyme of the plasma membrane. Serum ALP levels in children are closely related to age and gender, many commercial test kits being used in hospitals, are only offering reference values for adults. The aim of this study is to determine serum ALP levels regarding to age, gender and pubertal stage Methods: This stuy has been proceeded on children, who have no history for a chronic diseasse or medication and attending to the Keçiören Education and Research Hospital Pediatric Policlinic for routine control between September 2012-September 2013. In order to determine the serum Alkaline Phosphatase levels in children, 1063 (511 male, 552 female) patients were incorporated. Ca, P and vitamin D levels were also evaluated. The ranges of serum ALP levels in both genders according to age has been determined.
