摘要: Alkaline phosphatase (AP) is a membrane bound enzyme and when it elevated in blood, mostly due to either hepatobiliary or bone diseases. We report isolated intestinal hyperphosphatasemia (IAP) two sisters. Both sisters presented with identical trends of AP elevation. underwent extensive workup for liver diseases including cholangiograms, none was identified. Subsequent isoenzyme electrophoresis showed that 45%–56% the IAP. This elevation consistent rare hereditary biochemical abnormality, benign familial hyperphosphatemia. condition should be considered differential diagnosis otherwise serum levels avoid unnecessary investigations.
