[Isoenzymes of alkaline phosphatase in pleural effusions (author's transl)]
Wiener Klinische Wochenschrift
|May 30, 1975
Abstract:
By separation of alkaline phosphatase into isoenzymes, an isoenzyme fraction corresponding to the intestinal isoenzyme was isolated in a case of chylothorax. Since this fraction is transported from the intestine through the thoracic duct, the appearance of this fraction in a pleural effusion is typical of chylothorax.
