Patient's question:
When visiting the hospital for treatment, blood tests are conducted to measure bone alkaline phosphatase and calcium levels in trace elements. Are there any differences between these two tests?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this is different. Some children do not lack calcium, but their alkaline phosphatase is abnormal. Children with vitamin D deficiency may develop rickets. Suggestions: If there are still children who do not lack calcium but have high alkaline phosphatase, consider that the child may be deficient in vitamin D. It is recommended to actively supplement it, otherwise the child may develop mild rickets by eating some cod liver oil, and severe cases can be given intramuscular D3.
