The usefulness of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and phosphorous in screening and monitoring of metabolic bone disease of prematurity (MBDP) still has some limitations, especially in preterm infants with concomitant conditions such as cholestasis. We aimed to assess a modification of serum ALP (M-ALP) as a biomarker for MBDP in preterm infants, and the use of ultrasound monitoring for the apparition of knee ossification centers as marker of bone mineralization. Biochemical and clinical registers were taken from 94 preterm newborns <32 weeks. A significant correlation existed between serum ALP and direct bilirubin (DB), expressed by the regression equation: M-ALP (IU/L) = 302.1 + 96.9 (DB (mg/dL)). The ratio ALP/M-ALP > 1 was demonstrated to be more specific (87.5%) in the diagnosis of MBDP than the cut-off value of serum ALP > 500 IU/L (62.5%). ALP/M-ALP > 1 showed 100% sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of MBDP, and a good correlation with specific bone ALP (B-ALP). Patients with the knee nucleus by post-menstrual week 37 had lower B-ALP compared to patients with no nucleus, and no patients with MBDP presented the nucleus by the 40th week. In the absence of reliable specific B-ALP, reinterpreting serum ALP values by M-ALP plus monitoring of knee ossification centers contribute to better management of MBDP in preterm infants with cholestasis.

Objective We compared the accuracy of serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and phosphate (phos) levels for diagnosing severe metabolic bone disease (MBD) in very low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Study Design Retrospective analysis of VLBW infants with severe BPD admitted between 2010 and 2012 and with ≥ 1 iPTH, ALP, and phos level collected within a similar 72-hour period. MBD severity was classified by serial radiography. Results Laboratory values were available for 65 infants, of whom 24 (36.9%) developed severe MBD. A maximum ALP > 660 IU/L was the most accurate for diagnosing severe MBD (area under the curve: 88.4%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 77.2–94.5%). Maximum iPTH was the least accurate (optimal cut point > 130 pg/mL; area under the curve: 70.5%; 95% CI: 58.2–81.4). Conclusion Maximum ALP was more accurate than iPTH or phos for diagnosing severe MBD among preterm infants with severe BPD.

Abstract The case of a 4.5-year-old girl with autosomal recessive vitamin D dependency is described. Although she had been effectively treated since one month postpartum with 1 alpha-hydroxycholecalciferol [1 alpha(OH)D3, alfacalcidol], her mean alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) activity in serum increased to 3680 U/L from a stable value [335 (SD 50) U/L; n = 12] within three weeks, then returned to baseline over the ensuing four months. Transient hyperphosphatasemia was diagnosed. Extensive investigation of an isolated episodic increase in alkaline phosphatase activity is as superfluous in the child with adequately treated metabolic bone disease as it is in other healthy and asymptomatic children.

Background: Extremely low birth weight (ELBW, &lt;1,000 g) infants have a high risk of metabolic bone disease (MBD). Because of the late appearance of radiological signs, diagnosis of MBD in ELBW infants might be delayed, and its prevalence underestimated in this group of patients. This study adopted serial screening of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and phosphate (P) of ELBW infants to determine whether such screening is helpful for the early detection of MBD.Materials and Methods: We performed a retrospective study of preterm infants with a gestational age ≤ 31 weeks and birth weight &lt;1,000 g. MBD was absent (ALP ≤500 IU/L), mild (ALP &gt;500 IU/L, P ≥4.5 mg/dL), and severe (ALP &gt;500 IU/L, P &lt;4.5 mg/dL); MBD was divided into early MBD (≤4 weeks after birth) and late MBD (&gt;4 weeks after birth) according to the time of onset.Results: A total of 142 ELBW infants were included, with a median gestational age of 28.1 (26.5–29.7) weeks and a median birth weight of 875 (818–950) g. Seventy-three cases of MBD were diagnosed, and the total prevalence was 51.4% (mild MBD, 10.6%; and severe MBD, 40.8%). Male sex, breastfeeding, and sepsis would increase the risk of severe MBD. Most MBD in ELBW infants occurred at 3–4 weeks after birth. Sixty-two percent (45/73) of infants were diagnosed as having early MBD, which are diagnosed earlier than late MBD [24 (21–26) vs. 39 (36–41), t = −7.161; P &lt; 0.001]. Male sex [odds ratio (OR), 2.86; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.07–7.64; P = 0.036], initial high ALP levels (OR, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.01–1.03; P &lt; 0.001), and breastfeeding (OR, 5.97; 95% CI, 1.01–25.12; P = 0.049) are independent risk factors for the development of early MBD.Conclusion: The risk of MBD among ELBW infants is very high. Most cases occurred early and were severe. Male sex, initial high ALP levels, and breastfeeding are closely related to the increased risk of early MBD. Serial screening of serum ALP and P helps early detection of MBD; it is recommended to start biochemical screening for ELBW infants 2 weeks after birth and monitor their biochemical markers weekly.
