Successful Asfotase Alfa Treatment in an Adult Dialysis Patient With Childhood-Onset Hypophosphatasia [PDF]
Hypophosphatasia is an inherited disease characterized by reduced alkaline phosphatase activity, extracellular accumulation of inorganic pyrophosphate, and impaired bone mineralization. Asfotase alfa (AA) is a recombinant human alkaline phosphatase therapy approved for treatment of pediatric-onset hypophosphatasia.

Asfotase Alfa Treatment in a 2-year-old Girl with Childhood Hypophosphatasia
Childhood hypophosphatasia (HPP) presents with bowing of the limbs, poor mobility, chronic pain, short stature, fractures, and motor impairment. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) provides improved pulmonary and physical function in life-threatening perinatal and infantile forms of HPP. However, treatment of those patients without life-threatening HPP is

Effective NSAID treatment indicates that hyperprostaglandinism is affecting the clinical severity of childhood hypophosphatasia [PDF]
Hypophosphatasia (HP) is an inborn error of bone metabolism characterized by a genetic defect in the gene encoding the tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). There is a lack of knowledge as to how the variability and clinical severity of the HP phenotype (especially pain and walking impairment) are related to metabolic disturbances or ...
