  2. Elevated alkaline phosphatase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevated_alkaline_phosphatase

    The following are the most common treatments of elevated alkaline phosphatase. [23] Treatment of the underlying condition. Once doctors identify the cause of elevated ALP and diagnose a treatment, the levels of alkaline phosphatase fluctuates back to normal; Removal of medication. Drugs can be associated with increased levels of alkaline ...

  3. Hyperphosphatemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperphosphatemia

    Most people have no symptoms while others develop calcium deposits in the soft tissue. [1] The disorder is often accompanied by low calcium blood levels, which can result in muscle spasms. [1] Causes include kidney failure, pseudohypoparathyroidism, hypoparathyroidism, diabetic ketoacidosis, tumor lysis syndrome, and rhabdomyolysis. [1]

  4. Hyperparathyroidism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperparathyroidism

    Elevated calcium levels are found in 15% to 20% of patients who have been taking lithium long-term. However, only a few of these patients have significantly elevated levels of parathyroid hormone and clinical symptoms of hyperparathyroidism. Lithium-associated hyperparathyroidism is usually caused by a single parathyroid adenoma. [46]

  5. Alkaline phosphatase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_phosphatase

    The enzyme alkaline phosphatase (ALP, alkaline phenyl phosphatase) is a phosphatase with the physiological role of dephosphorylating compounds. The enzyme is found across a multitude of organisms, prokaryotes and eukaryotes alike, with the same general function, but in different structural forms suitable to the environment they function in. Alkaline phosphatase is found in the periplasmic ...

  6. Paget's disease of bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paget's_disease_of_bone

    An elevated level of alkaline phosphatase in the blood in combination with normal calcium, phosphate, and aminotransferase levels in an elderly patient are suggestive of Paget's disease. Markers of bone turnover in urine eg. Pyridinoline; Elevated levels of serum and urinary hydroxyproline are also found.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinal_vasculopathy_with...

    All patients develop brain and eye disease, leading to disability, vision loss, and premature death. All patients with RVCL develop kidney and liver disease, with elevated alkaline phosphatase. [6] Some patients develop bone lesions (osteonecrosis) as well as hypothyroidism. [6] Sometimes patients also develop gastrointestinal symptoms or ...

  8. ALPL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALPL

    Alkaline phosphatase allows for mineralization of calcium and phosphorus by bones and teeth. [19] ALPL gene mutation leads to insufficient TNSALP enzyme and allows for an accumulation of chemicals such as inorganic pyrophosphate [19] to indirectly cause elevated calcium levels in the body and lack of bone calcification.

  9. Hyperphosphatasia with mental retardation syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperphosphatasia_with...

    The clinical diagnosis can be established if the patient has repeatedly elevated levels of alkaline phosphatase activity in the blood serum and exhibits intellectual disability. Supportive for the clinical diagnosis are epilepsies, brachydactyly and a characteristic facial gestalt, which can also be assessed by means of AI. [7]
