[A high level of alkaline phosphatase in the blood serum is not a contraindication to embolization of the hepatic artery in malignant neoplasms of the liver].
The paper discusses the experience gained with embolization of the hepatic artery performed in 7 patients showing blood alkaline phosphatase levels higher than 19.3 mmol/hr.1. Tumor accounted for 10-80% of liver volume. The procedure did not involve either complications or fatal outcomes. Remission was achieved in the majority of patients. It was inferred that alkaline phosphatase activity is not indicative of extent of liver involvement by tumor. High alkaline phosphatase level is not a contraindication for hepatic artery embolization.
