Transient, benign, serum alkaline hyperphosphatasemia in an adult.
A rare occurrence of transient, benign, serum alkaline hyperphosphatasemia (TBSAH) in an adult is described. This patient's serum alkaline phosphatase rose transiently and asymptomatically to 29 times the upper limit of normal. Although TBSAH has been described in the pediatric literature, no cases of this entity have been reported in adults. Awareness of TBSAH occurring in adults is equally important to physicians who care for adult patients.
