Abstract:
In patients with pancreatitis an increase of the total amount of alkaline phosphatase (ALP; EC 3.1.3.1) and the appearance of its macro isoenzyme which parallels the decrease of bone isoenzyme was found. This isoenzymatic profile suggests that the increase of ALP in pancreatitis is due to the concomitant hepatobiliary disorder. Moderate increases of ALP didn't appear to be related to the existence of gallstones.
