Adult hypophosphatasia.

E Sorensen, H Flodgaard

    Acta Medica Scandinavica
    |May 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study describes an adult hypophosphatasia case treated with high orthophosphate (P1) intake. Treatment did not improve symptoms, suggesting saturated renal tubular transport of inorganic pyrophosphate (PP1).

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Metabolic Disorders
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Adult hypophosphatasia is a rare metabolic bone disease characterized by impaired bone mineralization.
    • Key diagnostic markers include low serum alkaline phosphatase, elevated urinary phosphoethanolamine, and high plasma and urinary inorganic pyrophosphate (PP1).
    • This case investigates the therapeutic potential of high orthophosphate (P1) intake in an adult hypophosphatasia patient with severe symptoms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a case of adult hypophosphatasia.
    • To evaluate the effect of high orthophosphate (P1) intake on inorganic pyrophosphate (PP1) levels and patient outcomes.
    • To explore the renal tubular transport mechanisms of PP1 in this condition.

    Main Methods:

    • Diagnosis based on clinical presentation, low serum alkaline phosphatase, high urinary phosphoethanolamine, and elevated plasma/urinary PP1.
    • Utilized an improved technique for specific microdetermination of PP1 in biological samples.
    • Administered high orthophosphate (P1) intake (1.98 g/day) and monitored PP1 and P1 levels in plasma and urine.

    Main Results:

    • Despite increased phosphorus intake, plasma and urinary PP1 concentrations remained unchanged.
    • Urinary P1 excretion increased, but PP1 excretion did not change, leading to a decreased PP1/P1 ratio.
    • Four months of treatment showed no clinical benefit to the patient.

    Conclusions:

    • High orthophosphate (P1) loading did not alter PP1 levels, suggesting saturated renal tubular transport of PP1.
    • The findings indicate that PP1 accumulates due to impaired excretion, not solely low phosphate levels.
    • This treatment approach was ineffective in improving the condition of the adult hypophosphatasia patient.
