Clinical value of biliary alkaline phosphatase in non-jaundiced cholangiocarcinoma
2004
Purpose
Measurement of the activities of alkaline phosphatase isoenzyme has been used for the identification and monitoring of diseases associated with the isoenzyme. Biliary alkaline phosphatase (BALP), an isoform of liver-ALP, has been found in the serum of patients with biliary obstruction and metastatic liver cancer. This study compared the BALP isoform in the serum of patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) with that of non-jaundiced benign hepatobiliary disease, other cancers, and healthy persons.
