Abstract:
Objective To study the levels of bone alkaline phosphate (BALP) in healthy children in the specific hospital.Methods Totally 990 healthy children from 0-16 years old were selected,all of whom received physical examination in the Xiasha branch of Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of TCM during August 2013 to April 2014.Serum was collected and tested for BALP levels with a Beckman Coulter Immunoassay System UniCel DxI 800.Z-test was used to verify age and gender grouping,after which the 2.5th and 97.5th percentile values of serum BALP levels were calculated.Results The levels of serum BALP(bilateral 95％ range) in healthy children were as follows:trottie stage (0-1 years old):37-300μg/L;infancy to school stage (＞ 1-9 years old):40-196 μg/L;puberty stage (＞9-16 year-old):25-284 μg/L (male),30-199 μg/L (female).The serum BALP levels of male children showed a weak correlation with height,while the correlation for female children was not significant.Conclusions The levels of BALP in healthy children of the specific hospital and area were established.Serum BALP levels in children varied with age and sex.
