  • Title: Studies on alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes in hepatic diseases. Relation to gamma-glutamyltransferase.
    Author: Burlina A, Bugiardini R.
    Journal: Clin Chim Acta; 1978 Apr 03; 85(1):49-54. PubMed ID: 25729.
    Abstract:
    Isoenzymes of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and total gamma-glutamyltransferase (gamma GT) have been studied in patients with increased total ALP. Fractionation of alkaline phosphatase yielded clinical information which could not be obtained by determination ALP and gamma GT alone. 1. There was a high degree of correlation between isoALP 1 (biliary band) and total gamma GT. 2. The ALP2 fraction increases after cytolysis in acute and chronic hepatitis. 3. A new ALP4 fraction appears, probably due to fibroblastic activity, in some histological types of cirrhosis.
