Serial serum alkaline phosphatase as an early biomarker for osteopenia of prematurity [PDF]
Medicine (United States), 2016 Metabolic bone disease of prematurity is a condition characterized by reduction in bone mineral content (osteopenia). It is a problem faced by very low birth weight (VLBW) infants because of lack of fetal mineralization during the last trimester. Our aim was to assess serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level as an early biomarker for osteopenia in ...
