A Case of Benign Transient Hyperphosphatasemia

Abstract

Benign transient hyperphosphatasemia is characterised by high serum alkaline phosphatase levels which is seen early childhood. The etiology is unknown but can be relation many viral infections. The high alkaline phosphatase levels turn normal in 2-6 months. This article presents a patient of 19 months old boy whose levels of alkaline phosphatase were found 3755 UI/L after acut gastroenteritis. The patologies of related bone or liver not found. Later the high alkaline phosphatase levels turn to normal spontaneously in 3 months. ©2008, Firat University, Medical Faculty.

Bir Vaka Nedeniyle Selim Geçici Hiperfosfatazemi

Öz

Selim geçici hiperfosfatazemi küçük çocuklarda, serum alkalen fosfataz düzeyinin normalin 3-50 katı yüksekliği ile karakterizedir. Nedeni tam olarak bilinmemekle birlikte birçok viral enfeksiyonla ilişkili olduğu saptanmıştır. Alkalen fosfataz düzeyleri 2-6 ay içinde kendiliğinden normale dönmektedir. Bu yazıda akut gastroenterit atağı nedeniyle tetkik edilirken serum alkalen fosfataz yüksekliği (3755 UI/L) saptanan, karaciğer ve kemikle ilgili eşlik eden bir patoloji bulunamayan, klinik takibinin 3. ayında ALP düzeyleri kendiliğinden normale gerileyen 19 aylık bir olgu sunulmuştur.©2008, Fırat Üniversitesi, Tıp Fakültesi
