Alkaline phosphatase bone isoenzyme activity in serum in various degrees of micromorphometrically assessed renal osteopathy.
Alkaline phosphatase bone isoenzyme activity in serum correlates significantly to micromorphometrically assessed parameters of bone apposition as well as resorption. Though as both processes appear to be coupled in renal osteopathy, bone isoenzyme activity seems to reflect mainly hyperosteoid states. The detection of abnormal findings is impressively better by bone isoenzyme analysis as compared with total alkaline phosphatase activity; pathological values are found even at the initial phase of osteopathy in early renal failure. The determination of alkaline phosphatase bone isoenzyme activity in serum is a sensitive and reliable diagnostic tool in assessing the beginning and degree of metabolic bone disease.
