[Alteratiions of calcium and phosphorus metabolism in patients treated with duodenoencephalopancreatectomy].
In a followup study of 14 patients treated by duodeno-cephalo-pancreatectomy at least one year before, the authors detected radiological evidence of bone tissue reshuffling in 64 per cent of the cases. Of these, 70 per cent showed high serum alkaline phosphatase content not attributable to cholestasis, liver metastasis, or specific bone disease. The authors call attention to the significance of this biochemical parameter for diagnostic purposes and therapeutic guidance.
