  • Title: [Diagnostic value of alkaline leucocyte phosphatase in hematology (author's transl)].
    Author: Pont J, Reimer EE.
    Journal: Wien Med Wochenschr; 1979 Mar 15; 129(5):136-9. PubMed ID: 285525.
    Abstract:
    The diagnostic value of the Alkaline Leucocyte Phosphatase (ALP) was checked on the basis of the patients of a hematologic department. Reliable data can only be obtained for the differential diagnosis of polycythemia vera and secondary polycythemia, not however for the differential diagnosis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and myelofibrosis. In CML the ALP is an aid for evaluating the course of the disease and its remissions. In Hodgkin's disease it is an objective parameter for actiivty of the disease. The leucocyte concentration method can be used for evaluation of the ALP.
