Sažetak
Introduction: A case of transient hyperphosphatasemia in a 21-month-old boy diagnosed with recurrent wheezing during acute respiratory infection is described.
Materials and methods: Determination of alkaline phosphatase catalytic activity was performed by the recommended photometric method, and elec-trophoretic separation of alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes on agarose gel by serum processing with lectin.
Results: During hospital treatment, increased catalytic activity of alkaline phosphatase was recorded (4109 U/L on day 1 and 2156 U/L on day 6). On control examination on day 27 of hospital admission, the value decreased to 505 U/L. Electrophoretic separation of alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes demonstrated a band faster than the hepatic-osseous isoenzyme, a fast anodal form.
Conclusion: A marked increase in the alkaline phosphatase catalytic activity with typical electrophoretic isoenzyme pattern persisting for several weeks points to transient hyperphosphatasemia. Additional unnecessary diagnostic work-up can be obviated by timely recognition of the phenomenon.
