We have a 38/40 lady with pre-eclapmsia and and ALP of 2400U/L in the face
of normal LFT (inc gammaGT). Does anyone have any information on ALP levels
in this situation?
There is tiny bit of information in The Effects of Disease on Clinical
Laboratory Tests about elevated levels in pre-eclamptic pregnancies and that
high levels may indicate placental as well as hepatic damage. Does anyone
have any more information? I can't get at the primary sources quoted for
these facts.
Also would people recommend Alk Phos isoenzymes in this situation?
Thanks,
