    Summary

    Transient hyperphosphatasemia of infancy (THI) is a common, benign condition in children. It often occurs in healthy infants and those with other disorders, with uniformly normal development, suggesting avoidance of invasive diagnostics.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Transient hyperphosphatasemia of infancy (THI) is a biochemical finding.
    • Its prevalence and association with various clinical conditions are not fully understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe cases of THI.
    • To compare these cases with existing literature.
    • To evaluate the clinical significance and management of THI.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series description.
    • Literature review and comparison.

    Main Results:

    • Six cases of THI were identified and analyzed.
    • THI is potentially more prevalent than previously recognized.
    • The condition can manifest in both healthy children and those with underlying disorders.

    Conclusions:

    • THI is a benign condition with a uniformly normal developmental outcome.
    • Invasive diagnostic procedures are unnecessary for THI.
    • Recognition of THI's benign nature can prevent unnecessary medical interventions.
